I have a set of 2ltr alloys with the recess paddles still annodized. I have a set of the long alloy lug bolts that I would like to use with them. On my other 914, I painted the recess paddles satin black and the lug nuts...which was easy.

I want to leave this set of wheels original looking...
Painting the bolts satin black, I don't think will look good. What can I do to make the stock bolts go with the annodized paddles?

Have the lugs chromed? I think this may look too shiny.

Paint the lugs some sort of sliver to match wheels????

Powder coat the lugs??

Looking for ideas...sorry no pics at the time, but I believe everyone knows what stock 2ltr alloys looks like.

Do you have a soft socket for lug nuts? It helps the finish last longer. It's a 24mm deep socket with a soft aluminum 19mm insert.
