WHY different color lug nut covers ?

[RubHer Yellow Ducky]

Why are some std wheel lug nut covers all gray/silver and some are gray/silver with a black elipese ?

Is it based on the date of maunfacturere or the truck color or some other factor ? HUH, F5 ?

I'm currently using FUSION SPRAY to make mine all black (truck is yellow) and will paint the HUMMER letters bright yellow. Will post a pic as soon as done.

I think it does have to do with the build date. Mine has the all gray/silver and it seems to me the ones I see with these are newer. Thats is probably why almost all you see on ebay have the black since they are been out longer. Could be wrong though.

Build date would make sense.

hn - didn't you buy yours like a week after me? Ours could've been on the lot at the same time, but my center caps have the black handles.

I'll have to check the build date.

Too much time on your hands if you are looking at your lug nuts that closely.

I pick mine up on 2/4 but am not sure on the build date. I do know that mine had just come in and that it was new enough that the GM badge is in the new location. Is your GM badge next to the H3 logo or in the new location?

Mine are chrome, but so are the wheels.

Stevie,

We can always count on you for the greatest info (only kidding)

It was around the beginning of the year they made the change at the factory and ALL H3s will now have the gray/silver.

Oh, picked mine up on 1/19. Mine was made in 11/05. My GM badge is next to the H3 logo.

Well, I painted mine completely black anyways, so I guess it was for the best for me.

[RubHer Yellow Ducky]

Ok...

Built 11-05, picked up mid Jan.

H-3 logo on door not close to GM badge

Caps were silver/gray, Now all Black, soon to be Black with Yellow letters...

But are we all guessing or is it FACT

Have not checked my build date but based on Brian's post it was after 1/1/06 so mine is a true '06 model

I think we are unraveling something bigger here than just the color of part of the center caps. Something bigger than all of us put together can even fathom.

[RubHer Yellow Ducky]

Are you talking about ILLEGEL IMMEGRATION, THE DE VINCHI CODE or a CONSIPRACY ???

RYD

JUST REALIZED WE ARE ALL IN FLORIDA>>>

[deicustoms1]

I think a little bit of all three, plus a few things we have yet to learn of.

[RubHer Yellow Ducky]

AND we will learn of this from who? (f5)???

[HummerNewbie]

Ok, so what build date do these come from?

[RubHer Yellow Ducky]

Thats the 2001 HUMMER H-3

LOL

I picked these up on Ebay and knew in advance that the previous owner had done some paint work to both the rim and the center cap. Personally I would not have done what he did but don't care as I got these for strictly wheeling or to powder coat. Either way, doesn't matter since I got all four for $70

[RubHer Yellow Ducky]

$70.00, Is that U.S. or Canadian

seems like a lot of money for a little plastic..
