Mine are rust and green paint. The tech who did the hub centric recall apparently got carried away and blobbed every frickin' bolt with paint. Any trace of original plating is now gone and I'm trying to remember how they were finished so I can have them replated. Chrome? Nickel? Other? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I seem to recall they weren't too shiny but that may be because they were already tarnished when I got the car, or just bad memory.

Thanks guys, this is very helpful! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I actually don't care for the look of super shiny bolts on these wheels so happy to hear it was a cad finish. Tom, do you know if silver cad would be the same as clear cad? Clear cad is one of the finishes the plater I'll be using offers. As nice as the patina is on these bolts, I think they could look better. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/santa_smiley.gif)
