Black Lug Bolts?
 

I have been searching without much success for black lug bolts for my new replica 20" wheels. Does anyone know of a seller for black lug bolts?

Why dont you just prep and spray paint your existing ones with flat black? That's not a problem...:thumbup:

Not a bad idea, but I need to strip the chrome somehow. Otherwise, the paint isn't going to stick.

Sand the head down with a fine sandpaper, primer then spray. Your done!!!;)

I first had a set on my 2002 7 series. I took them off when I unloaded the 7 and then placed them on my X5. While mine are chrome, I am sure that the black ones would look just as good. A quick install and while they are very easy to remove...they don't fall off.

They also come in other colors...

bmw bolt covers, great deals on eBay Motors on eBay!

I had also picked up the bule ones but I didn't like the way they took away from the BMW rondell. Just my taste...

Hope this is helpful.

Thanks. I will probably go this route.

Did you try the dealer.......:dunno:

Make sure you get X5 specific lug bolts. Regular ones are very, very different (as are the torque values of the lug bolts). X5 bolts are two piece w/a rotating bushing cone that mates with the wheel vs. the solid, 1 piece ones on regular BMWs...

I had the covers on my 7 series and now have them on my X5 and they are working fine and look sweet. My buddy has a red set on his M3 and the guy down the block has them on his 550i. They seem to be a nice clean and inexpensive look, IMO.

Do you know if BMW carries these?
