I have searched and tried various ways to find black bolts for the wheels on my car. I don't want to powder coat my originals as it will come off. I don't want caps for the bolts. Does anyone know of a vendor that can sell me anodized (I guess?) black bolts & wheel locks for my 19" Carrera Sport wheels? I found one vendor, but for some reason he only has 38mm bolts (for use with spacers) and I don't want to cut them. I can't imagine it can be this hard to find with the large number of black wheels people have on their cars now. My original silver ones are ugly and have surface rust. Thanks.

 

Be careful about that. There have been reports of sheared non-OEM bolts with dire consequences. Surface treatments of metals change their mechanical properties.

 

+1, I would just take some Black spray paint and touch them up when ever they need it.

 

Try search next time - you're right, they aren't hard to find. Forget the locks - anyone who really wants your wheels won't let the locks stop them.

I did use search, but I didn't find anyone that had BOTH the locks and bolts. Anyway, thank you.

 

I may just do this ..easy and cheap enough.

 

I sprayed mine GT Silver (after a good cleaning and priming). Works well. Just be careful when putting the bolts on and off to minimize disturbing the paint.

 

I just put the black on mine today. Used duplicolor grey primer and gloss black. $8.00 total. Cleaned the lug bolts with comet cleanser to create a water-break-free surface, dried with a hair dryer, masked so only the heads were exposed, mounted on a piece of stiff cardboard and sprayed. The whole job took an 1 1/2 hours and they look great. When I put the silver wheels on, I'll strip the black and paint with silver. Easy.

 

Try Wheel Enhancement under "Accessories," then "Lugs and Locks."

Good people who know what they sell. I don't see black bolts but give them a call and see if they can recommend something.

No affiliation; just a satisfied customer.

 

Glad it worked for you, post some pictures soon.

 

Here you go!

 

That looks great! Nice job.

 

Very nice. I guess that's the ticket. Thanks!

 

I looked for black wheel bolts when I got my black OZ's, the original bolts were too beat up to paint so I ended up buying black wheel studs and a set of black nuts and standard steel finish nuts.

This also makes changing wheels way easier especially if you need to run spacers.

 

I have a set of those black plastic wheel bolt covers. Those are safer so use. You can have those if you want?
