rafal,
I feel obligated to give a friendly warning to people looking at this thread. I have had some serious problems with chrome lug bolts on a C32 for years. While I can not say that the finish was the cause, my chrome bolts have had a snapping issuse since the very first set. The finish tends to crack and strip in the hub and this leads to rusting of the bolt. With time the bolts snap at this nearly lead me losing a wheel at the track. The I have spoken to everyone about this and no one knows exactly what is happening.
Yes the W203 rear hub has an issue that makes it prone to snapping lugs but I have seen chrome lugs on several cars fail (different chassis) and I just dont want people getting lugs that can fail. I know you race and I would just say a set of polished lugs that are not atually dipped in chrome might be better. If you want to make the car look better (which I understand) I think polished lugs might be safer.
But your wheels do look great.
