Paint the bolts you have black or silver

If trays who you are covering? Lol

I have the TPI smoke chrome ones on and like them, just add the finishing touch,

I've found the TPI one to be a better push fit, I've tried the cheaper plastic ones but found they would work loose and disappear.

Thanks for that info and the picture - they do look good! I was a bit worried that they would look a bit bling!

If you can find the smoke chrome ones theyre better than the pure chrome or you could go for black to match the locking wheel bolt as they don't fit on those.

I dont think my locking bolt has anything covering it apart from a layer of rust!

I would have thought they could offer a set of decent chromed bolts in with the price we all payed!
 
Or you could get a set of bright silver galvanised bolts, there is a tread if you search re the pros and cons of stainless steel chromed and galvanised bolts. These are what a few members have recommended, I also have them. :D

Saw these this morning for the locking nuts:

then saw this thread! So if you got black ones for the others, they would match?

Which you will fit and will look no different to the covers :roll: unless you look at your nuts with a magnifying glass :)

I've got the smoke chrome ones like Titan Tim and everyone says they look lovely, a big improvement on the standard bolts, but I got four new wheel bolts as well to replace the locking bolts and now have the covers on all five wheel bolts, looks much better than only four covers plus the locking one
 
Chrome ones. IMO I don't like them.bought 2 sets for my cars plus locking bolt covers. Wish I had just got new bolts. Rusty wheel bolts cost me ! :thumbsdown:

I wasnt sure if the quote referred to the wheel bolts or the caps! :)

I agree the caps do look good.
Make a note to remove them before it goes in for service etc!
I will get some caps and a worry about the locker another time - I dont fancy leaving the wheels without one tho!
 
Have removed the caps ronk , Laying in the garage, 2 sets. Have ordered new bolts for both cars tonite wish I had just done that in the first place. :headbang:
