Where to buy Black wheel bolts?

Who knows where to buy black wheel bolts in various lengths to accomodate spacers?

These must have the separate spherical washer - not machined into the bolt.

Thanks

I got the new lug bolts from RAD USA Direct. Cold Forged German Steel Lug Bolts and Wheel Locks. I'm pretty sure they have black, I wasn't looking for them when I got my new lug bolts.

I dont think Vivid's have the washer on them, not sure if that matters?

I was thinking of having my stockers powdercoated but not sure how they would hold up... maybe anodizing would work better?

Hi Don... You know, I can't remember either, I have a set there aswell... lol

I'm sure powdercoating will eventually flake off... anodized would be the way to go for sure!

Thanks Guys.

RAD and Vivid's ball seat is built into the bolt (I won't use those) and you don't annodize steel.

I found some at PCars.com and I know about Boothe - just hoping there might be a reasonably prices set out there.

Any other places out there?

I just thought of a cheap solution, just don't wash that part of your wheels. A few days of driving and they'll be black.

Hahahahaha - good point, but I'm adding spacers, so I have to buy longer bolts anyhow...

This is what I have:

They work ok but you have to make sure they are on tight

Thanks for the idea - I've got to buy new bolts anyhow, so I'll just get them in black.
