Horrible wheel bolts

The wheel bolts on my car are in a bit of a state and would look much better with some shiny black ones!

Does anyone know of any that are safe? What about the locking wheel bolt, can you get covers?

You could clean yours up with a wire brush & give them a spray with bbq paint? I’ve tried this and had decent results

Thanks, good idea.

Had considered Hamorite but everything I've used that on in the past has rusted more!...probably user error.

I have these on mine

A little cheap and tacky, but much nicer than rusty bolts!

I bought a set of black covers from ebay, they are lasting really well

Useful tip - thanks.

I've just ordered these:- https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07 ... UTF8&psc=1

I couldn't buy some paint for that price.

Bugger...now I have to decide black or chrome!

Buy both sets and put all black on one side and chrome on the other

I went for black because the standard bolts are black, and I thought chrome would stand out too much against the silver of the wheels.

You coud always try one or the other and see if you like them - they're not exactly expensive after all!

I got the below from Ebay last year and they are still pristine.
