Does anyone know the correct original finish for a steelie lug bolt? I know the alloy lug bolt was silver. I see in post #1 of this thread (http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=74857) a restored car with steelies with the lug bolts in yellow chromate. My originals looked to have been black, but could have been painted. So, when new did they come with yellow chromate/cadmium; black chromate, or blue chromate (silver)?

Yes, Zinc plating should be okay. They need to be baked right after plating to eliminate hydrogen embrittlement. This is critical for a stressed fastener, especially wheel bolts.
