Are black wheel lug bolts available

I just picked up my olive mist (actually looks black) targa 4s. I have the wheels painted to match. The wheel lug bolts are still chrome or whatever the silver lug bolts are made of. Where can I get a black lug bolts to finish the wheel treatment for these 19" wheels

Be prepared for a touch up or re coating every time you use the bolts.

I got mine from boothedesign.com and they are beautiful. Mine are called black chrome. wheelenhancement.com has plastic caps that go over the lugs and are cheaper than buying the lug's.

We've done some....but you need a soft socket and they're good for about two tries, then the finish can spider.

I have the Porsche OEM black lugs on mine. I originally had the ones from Boothe Design but because the chamfer angle is not correct, they kept coming loose! The Porsche OEM black alloy lugs fit perfectly!

Are they bolts or nuts? I didn't know that Porsche offered them. Do you have a part # or some more info? If they are bolts, are they the standard length? Must be since I recall your new wheels dont use spacers. Thanks.

you can convert to studs and use the older fuchs anodized alloy lug nuts.

Atomic80 says he had Porsche black lugs - I just wanted to see what they were. The 997 uses lug bolts unless you have a big spacer that attaches with the lug bolts and the wheel then attaches to the spacer with lug nuts - just looking for a little clarity. I've seen the plastic caps and don't really like them. Thanks.

Yeah they stick out a bit, especially on aftermarket wheels.
but i thought they looked ok on the stock wheels.
I always knew you could convert like oak said but never understood how, is it a difficult process?
