Avant Garde M510 replacement lug bolt help

Hi all - I have 19" Avant Garde M510 wheels on the 997. The chrome lug bolts are showing some rust which is driving my OCD mind crazy

What options are there for replacing the lug bolts that came with the wheels? (Note - they are not standard Porsche size lug bolts). It would be great to get something non-chrome.

Thanks much

Matt

I'm assuming when you say your existing bolts are not standard Porsche size that you're referring to the head. Some aftermarket wheels have small lug hole openings and require a 17mm lug bolt head (not the standard 19mm) so the socket will fit. One alternative would be to find some Ti bolts that have a torx head so you wouldn't need a standard socket to install.

Send an email to the customer support address on their web page. I have found them (specifically Scott Chu) to be very prompt and helpful in their replies.
