OEM wheel bolts or similar

So I just bought new wheels and they use OEM wheel bolt's. Just found out from the installer that my old wheels I bought the car with use aftermarket bolts. What is recommended as cost effective but still reliable OEM style bolts. Thanks

What I'm trying to ask is if any 14x 1.5 ball seat wheel bolt will work, or is there a very important reason to use OEM which costs much more. Thanks

Most of the aftermarket stuff is of dubious quality, aka garbage. How much is a factory bolt, 5, 10 bucks? This is one area I would not skimp on.

They were 14 each from Porsche. Found factory ones from wheel enhancement for 9 each

I have the Ti lugs as shown above. They provided a set specifically for use with my 6mm spacers. Awesome value it you are looking for a little wheel jewlery. They do shave about 1 Lb off of each wheel (i can feel it, really i can ). I got them for my birthday, figured they would go with my un-sprung weight reduction plan. I have shaved off about 10Lb per wheel with Brakes, Wheels and Lugs.
