Wheel Bolts

Anyone know where I can get some silver/polished wheel bolts for my 07 MCS? I'm changing to black/polished lip wheels.

This is one of only two places in the country that produce our lug bolts RADUSADIRECT.com or call him at 310-995-8939 tell him Gary from Texas recomended him and he'll only charge you 25% more, LOL. 14mmx1.25 17mm hex head will run about 60.00 for a set.

Or you can also change to wheel studs and then get closed nuts in polished finish probably for less than $60 for a set of 16.

Did you want the chrome like finish or a dull silver?

I use studs because I track and autocross and it's much easier/faster to hang the wheel on the hub with studs. Studs are not as helpful if you rarely change wheels.

Many vendors sell studs-

http://www.bavauto.com has them. I have studs and use lug nut covers which snap over the nuts.

You can get "chrome" 14mm tuner style wheel bolts from Discount Tire. I've saw them other places, but off the top of my head I can't tell you where.

You can also order them yourself from http://www.excaliburwheel.com/index.html Look toward the bottom of the page on the right hand side.

I know that Discount Tire gets theirs from Excaliber, and Discount Tire is actually cheaper that ordering direct from them.

BUT, I'll tell you this for a fact. All chrome tuner style lug bolts that I know of will develop rust in the spline hole. I haven't saw any that didn't start to rust after only a few weeks.
