I think they look good!

My current silver set looks nasty and I'm having a hard time tracking down a new set of silver ones and was concerned black would be my only option. But after see this, I think it's great.

*nasty current silver wheel nuts for reference.

Nevermind, it’s a moot point - although I agree that the black lug nuts look good.

I had the set of the black lug nuts left over from when I put wheel spacers on my 911/50. Unfortunately, they had factory lock lug nuts and of course my Spyder lock key isn’t compatible. The original key apparently went with the car when I sold it.

So buy 4 more black ones and make a set. Black on silver looks good.

Yea! Although, you're preaching to the converted!

Yay for sure! I have black bolts and love the contrast to the silver wheels plus the stock bolts always end up looking rusty/gross after a few years.

My '13 981 BS came with the black nutz on Carrera Classic wheels from the factory. I think they look nice on the car and, yes, they don't look as scabby as silver ones often can. My opinion is that they make an attractive design contrast and have a more "technical" look.

Ordered.

And thanks all for not correcting me - I realize they’re lug bolts and not lug nuts. Old habits die hard…

I installed some titanium lug bolts about 7 years ago now, they still look perfect!

Didn’t even notice them - what is that on the wheel? Back to the garage!
