I know the lug bolts are plated for the Fuchs wheels. Like a zinc plating or something.
Who does refinishing? Thanks. Paul (IMG:http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1117/1458436045_3bc343b850.jpg) (IMG:http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1340/1459300108_7ddfaba17d.jpg) (IMG:http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1418/1459297774_9f60e87f6b.jpg) |

The green you see is the copper corrosion products. They plated the steel bolt with copper, then cadmium. Cad plating is not common anymore due to its toxic nature. You might consider silver zinc plating. A bunch of CW's might consider pooling their bolts for new cad plating if a plater could be found.
