yes, but unless you discover some crafty way to paint them while they are still on the vehicle, the challenge will be not marring them during installation. I replaced my oems on the 997 with black factory lugs. Fortunately the 981 arrived with black lugs. Whodathunkit?

OMG! Those are lovely; too bad you can't see more of them when they're installed.

FYI lug bolts are covered under warranty.

I just got my old rusty silver bolts replaced with some sharp looking new black lug nuts.

Default Lugs

Suggest keeping a set of 5 oem ball seat lugs in the “well” as well as 17 and 19 breaker/sockets…

I bought some titanium bolts years ago, still look great. Plus there is less unsprung weight!😉
