Just noticed today while washing my new IS that these beautiful wheels have strange and rather cheap looking wheel bolts. Not only are they strange looking, they appear to be uncoated and may be prone to rust. Has anyone seen theirs rust? Are there aftermarket black or charcoal wheel bolts that will make our wheels look better than these parts bin looking bolts?

 

Noticed the same on mine as well

 

AI is saying the quality of our lug bolts is sub par. Hmmm….well that sucks.

 

I wouldn't worry about it at all as long as you/whoever works on your car is torquing the wheels properly to OEM spec. Shouldn't be an issue.

 

Ya, but they do look kind'a cheap.
Was thinking about replacing them with chrome, but that wouldn't work, either.
