Black lug bolts

The black lug bolts start shipping on Friday of this week and I should have all of the current orders shipped by Tuesday.

BLACK LUG BOLTS $6.00/each

We have them available in stock length (1.1" or 28mm) and longer lengths for wheel spacers (1.55" or 40mm). They are available in ball seat as well as conical seat. Please specify what you need when you order.

We have been waiting a long time for these to arrive, I am so happy that they are finally here.

In stock for Mercedes, Porsche, Audi, Maybach, VW and Volvo right now.

Call me with any questions you may have at (516) 870-0351

Thanks-
-Craig

How are these different than other black bolts for the SL?

These are made in Japan so the quality is extremely good, I see that you have a Supra (I'm sure that you don't have parts from China on it). They are not painted or sprayed black, they are black throughout the whole manufacturing process. They are made from SCM435 steel, which is one of the strongest materials available with this type of component in that price range.

I own the above set, was just curious the difference. The above ones are also black in manufacturing process (not painted) and I have never had an issue breaking a lug nut in either the supra or my SL65. Appreciate the response though, and it is always good to have more products avail!

Ada, I was just looking at that site you put up there and was wondering if it would be possible to install wheel studs in the SL hub then use lug nuts instead of bolts?

Thoughts?

Any reasons why this would be a bad idea?
