All of the on-line retailers carry lug bolts, and most can get center caps. I prefer Pelican, myself, but I may be a little bit biased. wink.gif

Someone around here has contacts that can get you aftermarket lug bolts that fit correctly for significantly less than the factory-correct ones. I don't remember who, though...

Do not buy aftermarket center caps, they do not work.

and don't buy ANYTHING from a guy called "The Andante"...sells on eBay and such...his stuff doesn't fit AND he's a raging asshole.....

I bought mine on EBay and bought from the guy called "theandante" for about $40 for a set of sixteen. BE SURE THAT YOU GET BALLED SEAT no matter who you buy from. not cone shaped seat. I am told the cones will crack the rims. the andante guy took a little time but i got them and they look real nice as for center caps buy the real thing if you can.

I bought some lug nuts from Boothe Design. A little pricey but very high quality.

He also has center caps but I'd rather kick myself in the balls than pay almost $400.00 for them. w00t.gif

If that guy had the right stuff to sell, he'd still be on this list. He was passing off the wrong items here. He was asked to leave. He either got smarter...which I highly doubt or you got lucky.

Good for you.

Long time listener, off and on, first time caller! I get on 356 boards mainly. Just recently got a 914 though. I was searching for threads about Boothe Design but what Evan said. I also got 914 lugs from the same guy on eBay and they were fine. That makes me want to go back and clarify my question I've asked elsewhere about Boothe Design, namely who has actually had experience with them? That is a big distinction. Rumors vs actual experience. Alot of rumors on these boards about alot of different people sometimes, eh? One question that no one has ever answered about Boothe Design though is why are they so expensive!

Ralph and Gerry Boothe are long time friends of the Cap'n. Like, since the 60's You don't remember the 60's, right? First rate people, first rate merchandise. Always. Pricey, but very good. They used to be frequent PCA concours winners, including Parades, and know what stuff's supposed to be like. I recommend them highly. The Cap'n

I've bought lug nuts from him and had very good results.

Very nice stuff...
