Black Tuner Lug Bolts 14 x 1.25 - anywhere to buy?

So my OEM lug bolts fit my aftermarket wheels but the OEM wheel locks that Mini sells (and I currently have) do not fit in my new Konig Feathers. So my question is where can I find black tuner lug bolts in 14 x 1.25 necessary to fit my car. Do they come in specific lengths that I will need to know how long they need to be? I know Texas Speedworks (sp?) sells the bolt to lug conversion kit in black but I'd prefer to have the actual bolts. Thanks in advance for the help!

It's a lot more expensive than just getting new bolts though. When I was looking for new wheels I went to a rim & tire shop and they wanted $40 for the whole set of longer bolts. I think sites like tunermotorsport.com and ezaccessory.com have them too.

Thanks for the replies. I've checked both tunersport and ezacessory but haven't found anything that would work. Realistically I could get away with another set of wheel locks 14x1.25 that have thinner heads (and key) to allow for tightening on the aftermarket wheels but am having trouble finding those as well! What a PITA!

TooLazy: You can get lugs in 14mm X 1.25 thread in numerous lengths at this site. If what you are looking for is a black exposed nut see this page of the site:

http://www.radusadirect.com/product/...lt_Covers.html

I believe the stock lugs are 28mm long as I bought 43mm long lugs to address my 15mm wheel spacers. I hope this helps.

thanks kukaepe - those covers might be a necessary if I can't find a black wheel lock lug bolt in 14 x 1.25 - I have considered using some black nail polish on the head of the chrome bolt

additionally the 28mm length is helpful although on the radusadirect website I only saw 27, 33 and 38 mm lengths. I assumed it would be 27 until I saw that it is actually 28mm. I also looked at a Spline Bolt Kit from Alta but that comes with 16 lug bolts and realistically I only need 4.

Decisions, decisions, decisions........ help!
