Need new wheel bolts
 
While working on my car last night I found that 2 of the wheel bolts on the same wheel were completely trashed from being overtightened (not by me). For the time being now I just took a bolt from another wheel to replace one so I wasn't running on just 2 of the 4.

I'm really just considering buying and entire set just to be safe on all accounts and was looking to get aftermarket ones just for visual purposes. Want to get either gold or red.

But I was also considering just replacing them all with studs instead. Not really sure what the better road would be and not sure of what sites/companies to even order from.

if you change your wheels frequently, stud are definently the way to go. if not wheel bolts are fine, and I think you can order them one by one from ecs tuning

Bolts do look nicer, but they are a pain to use. I went to studs 10-12 yrs ago, and I'm glad I did. Motor on.

We have the well bolts , stock size and plus size for spacers. 7/2006 is when they changed the wheel bolt thread size M12 to M14, so keep that in mind.
