I had to take mine off while they were frozen, and they came off easily...now if they were coated in ice that may have been a different story.

I have the blue ones, I wonder what they look like on my wheels when they are spinning.

Got it - pinch your nuts.

Actually I'm surprised none of the OCD crowd have chimed in several times screaming they aren't lug nuts but actually bolts. I prefer nuts though....wait that didn't come out right...

Pictures...yeah. Once I got it in the gallery, the copy/paste works great.

Either I read somewhere or someone told me that Lowes or Home Depot actually sell those "bolt" covers. Don't know whether it's true or not.......... or what colors they come in! Does anyone know??

Lowe's - but they are chair leg tip covers. I have a set on my car and I can honestly say that Donny's are far superior even though I don't have a set. He was kind enough to offer up a set to me for free when he originally started selling but I had to decline as I just didn't feel right about him giving them to me even though I would of most likely had said much more nice things to say about them if I had tried them ( I do know exactly what they are ) I still have a problem to part with $20 for them - but remember I am extremely cheap/thrifty and proud of it.

Even though I don't have a set or two I know they are nice and I'd rather have those over the chair tips just for the ease of removal.
