(Aftermarket Wheels) What lug bolts are you running???

Hey,

My OEM lug bolts for my SL55 are in OK shape, but I'm putting on new aftermarket shoes on my MB and want to know what you guys recommend as far as Lug Bolts for our cars. For all you guys that did aftermarket wheels or just simply replaced your lug bolts where can a I get a nice set of Black ones or Polished ones???

Thanks

KAMIL

The place you buy the wheels from should also have lugs or can get them for you. I just purchased new wheels and tires and didnt think about the lugs till they were about to mount the new wheels on the car and I saw just how bad the stock lugs looked, thats when I spoke up and said you're not putting those on, you must have new ones in stock - they did, new chrome that match my new wheels.

Gorilla 17018 is what I have for my HRE. A lot of HRE owners recommend them. They're the same length with OEM ones and are chrome. If you want other color eBay sells cover for them which comes in red, black, gold, and chrome.
