Where to find anodized black lug bolts?

I recently put on the H&R spacer kit onto my rear wheels, but unfortunately the extended 68mm 14x1.5 bolts that come with the kit are nasty grey in appearance, and I have black wheels.

Doe anyone know where I can buy black lug bolts in this type of custom 68mm length? Any help would be appreciated.

I can paint them black myself, but I'm sure the paint would always crack whenever I tighten/loosen the bolts. In the meantime I put the plastic black caps on the bolts, but they don't look as good as just a black bolt by itself.

Couldn't agree more. I just went to black wheels and have spent an hour or so searching for black bolts. I found the site below. Not sure of the quality or manufacturing (paint?). I was going to order some and see.

So is that per bolt or a set of 4? Can't really tell from the website.

I would guess that price is for a single bolt.
wross966TT, those are the exact lug bolt caps I used.
I finally just fixed the whole issue regarding this thread last week. Here's a link to another thread I started that shows what I did. Please see top of page 3 for pics.

FYI - It cost around $200 to have a set of 20 lug bolts black chromed. They stripped all the nasty chipped old black paint off the spare set of OEM lugs I had, then chomed them, and finally black chromed them. Again, they are black chrome, so they didn't come out super black black, but I think they look great.

ES Technical Roadsports in Gardena took care of this for me. However you should be able to get it done in your area by a decent chroming place.

wheels bolts

a cheap way to do it is take off the bolts scuff them up with a scuff pad after that wipe them down with paint thinner get a permenant paint maker and black it out. it works very well cuz all you ever see is the face of the bolt and that never really gets any contact.

I bought the black plastic caps off Ebay. They work fine as long as you make sure there on 100%. I have lost a few of them so if you go this route get a few extra.

One of my customers who posts in the 997 board just got some black anodized lugs, I believe he got them off ebay.

Boothe Designs. They're absolutely perfect, and the locks match as well. Talk to Ralph, he's an old school Porsche guy and cool to talk to.
