Custom lug bolts

I want to dress up my white OZ Alleggerita wheels a bit. My black OEM lugs bolts are looking a little battered, so I'm thinking about chrome, white, or red lug bolts. Any ideas where I can get these for a R56 JCW.

you could get a set of studs and have the nuts powder coated white before install.

That's an idea to think about. Thanks.

Along the same lines purchase a new set of OEM ones and have them powdercoated. The do the same with the old ones so yo have spares.

Don't forget to get a soft 17mm socket as not to mar the new finish.

I went with Dustin's suggestion and ordered a stud kit. I have two sets of wheels so that will make changes easier. I can get the bolts powder coated, but with a stud kit I may leave it black chrome. I'll see once install it. I think the stud kit will be a cool look for the OZ Alleggerita wheels I have (see my gallery).
