Default does anyone have CHROME lug bolts?

I cant stand these anodized lug bolts. They look dirty. Has anyone ever had any chrome 996 lug bolts? I have seen aftermarkets that have no washer. Does anyone else know where there are factory style in chrome?

Ordered bolts for my C"S", a "soft socket" to protect the bolts and billet center caps for my Techart wheels. Pricey, but awesome!

You probably think I am dim asking this but where do these Lug nuts go?
I think the term "lug nuts" is american speak. We would call them "wheel nuts" I guess unless
I have the meaning of "lug" wrongly translated.
But on my 996, I have wheel bolts and no place for nuts. What am I missing here?

Yeah, they are wheel bolts as of the 9x6 models. On all older P-cars, we used lug nuts.

Get the Ralph Boothe chrome lug bolts. They come with the swivel collars and the quality is impeccable. Here's a photo of mine.

I agree Ralph Boothe is one of the best. Got the chrome lug bolts for my old HRE wheels and they were outstanding, excellent durability, worth every penny.
