Question Stainless Steel Wheel Lug Bolts

Who's using these and what's your feedback on it? My factory lug bolts are showing a bit of rust and not sure if I should replace them with these.

I have been eyeing those as well. But there is another seller with sets for $139.95 buy it now. I think that's just a bit more than a replacement set of OEM steel ones would run (about $6 each new IIRC).

I need longer ones for my spacers....I wish I can get them longer!

I wonder if we can buy colored caps for the lug bolts like VW has?

I've got spacers too. The seller in the link in the first post says that he does have longer bolts available. So you can do it, but it is costly.

Several of the big Prosche parts retailers like Performance Products have lug bolt covers. You can get black or chrome.

That's for the heads up. They look slightly different than the one from MaxSpeed, but for almost half the price I think it's a no brainer.

MaxSpeed advertises in their auction that they have 37mm and 44mm available.

If you get the Black plastic lug caps make sure they also fit the locking lug, which are a different size as far as I know.
