Wheel bolts cover installed

The 4 lock bolts which are notorious for being easy to get damaged, are replaced with normal bolts but they have different color from the rest bolts.
just covering them with the same color bolt covers

Looks nice and clean. Curious about locking lugs easy to damage? And also, what were the color differences?

The groves and walls inside the Porsche lock lug are too thin and delicate to damage when bolting/unbolting with slightly over torque.

All the stock wheels bolt were in black. One of my 4 lock lugs has damaged during wheels changing.
I ordered 4 pieces of normal bolts to replace the 4 lock lugs but they came in silver color which doesn't match with the rest black normal bolts.

So, these are just covers that snap on to the lug bolt heads? My winter wheels are grey and my lugs are black. This would be a great solution. Can I ask where you got them? Thanks!

OP can correct me, but these look pretty darn close:

I searched amazon for 19mm lug bolt covers

Our tested & proven lug covers fit extremely firm once installed to prevent loosening even under extreme driving

Keep it under 150 mph and they should stay on

What I bought are the OE Audi ones for Q7: 4L0 601 173 Z37
Please note that caps for lock lugs are different one.
You need 4 of them if you are using lock lugs in your car.
All caps need a special clip to remove from lugs
