Slate x Crayola Block Party Pictures from NYC! -- July 11, 2026

There is no gap between the cap and the rounded nubs.

Looks like there is to me. That's why I asked.

Lets make a bet, I bet you those are not lug nuts.

Lets make a bet, I bet you those are not lug nuts.

Not something I'd bet on, but it's certainly feasible.

I am in the market for one of those scale model trucks.
You never know, that could be the only Slate I might be able to buy!

The color is so even with the background center cap that I'm guessing it is one piece of injection molded plastic. Lug nut covers are pretty common on cheap cars from 2010 on.

 

[Luxrage]

I think that is the actual steel wheel. The only cap is over the lug nuts in the center.

From the SAE international video of the Slate launch party, here's the steel wheel with just the vinyl ring on it:

Here's a photo from Reddit of a truck on the road near Troy with the cover off:

Shutter speed must've been fast to get that little blur on the highway! Shows the actual lug nuts and spindle cover under the hubcap.

I think it might be cool to get some solid acorn nuts and replace the cover with a 3D printed colorful one, or maybe Plasti-Dip the stock one.

I would like a chrome baby moon center with a chrome trim ring.

That's how I'm going to run mine, take off the cap and get some chrome lug nuts.

 

[SailorDan]

Nah. I want full white steelies, with chrome lug nuts.

Or silver paint with chrome beauty rings.

Or poverty dog-dish chrome hubcaps.

But that ugly standard wheel and hubcap have got to go! Seriously lame.

Man, I haven't seen a Jones Soda in ages.

TANGENT: Jones added THC / cannabis options to their offerings. Enjoy responsibly.

Of course they did. 🤣

Does anyone else wonder how they're going to poka-yoke these? In my mind, I see the orange ring bobbing up and down while going down the road for the DIY installs.

Hopefully they have a guide like those fancy screen protectors.
