Help finding aftermarket lug bolts

Does anyone know where you could find lug bolts for the mini that are blue or like an anodized blue color. And preferably ones that have a 6 point Allen or torx head. I just like the inside hardware use look. Thanks much

You can convert to studs and get the aftermarket lug nuts you are shooting for. Would make it easier to mount your wheels on too!

If you do the stud conversion...get quality studs, and carfuly measure the length you need....it will vary based upon your choice of wheels.
I ran studs for a bit...they can be removed when you want with a pair of jam nuts...they usually go on with an allen wrench.
It will give you many more choices....
I removed mine when I was able to find lug bolts with the correct "tuner" head size foe one of sets of rims....

Since the bolt diameter on many mini's are nonstamdard, depending upon production date, you choices may still be somewhat limited....
Talk to a vendor...a few the stud kits in both sizes, and will get you the correct one.
Since the torqe to mount wheels are kinda high for some of the fastner ends you mentioned, it may not be possible though...steel cannot be colored like you mentioned....can be laquered....

Okay thanks for the all the input. Really didn't wanna do a stud conversion. And I know steel can't be anodized only aluminum. I just thought someone might know of a lug bolt. Thanks anyway
