Are you using aftermarket wheels? Spacers? What's the need for lug bolts? I run spacers up front and got my extended bolts from ECS tuning. I have no experience with the ones you mentioned. But the ones I got seem like same quality as stock.

My 2009's bolts were just rusty and not nice looking. They still held the wheels in place just fine, but sure didn't look good. I then got black bolts from Mercedes. Much, much nicer, no rust. Looking good.
That said, my personal fave so far was the Racing Brake stud kit. Only drawback is that without spacers, you have some extra thread to thread the nuts off of. But putting wheels on with studs is life changing. Just be really careful with the nuts and make sure you have good quality, tight fitting sockets, or the surfaces can get banged up and rust a bit too. That was a bummer
