I recently inquired at my local Porsche dealer regarding 914 lug bolts for my factory Fuchs wheels. They ordered one and took these photos for me. These appear to have the original 19mm heads, but they are not chromed or plated.
They are twice the price of Auto Atlanta's lug bolts, which are 17mm, chrome plated, but I believe do not have the unthreaded area below the bolt head as does the factory bolt(AA website photo angle makes it difficult to tell, but it looks to be threaded all the way up to the shoulder). Does anyone know if the alloys are the same on both types of lug bolts? Any experience or thoughts with either one regarding quality, fitment, or looks or what the original factory finish was on these? Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback everyone!
@bdstone914 - do you remember where you purchased them?
@root_werks - the early Boxster lug bolts have a dip at the top, and I am looking for a factory look, but appreciate it. Certainly an inexpensive option.
@Jett - that is a good price at Sunset Porsche compared to most dealers. I actually can get them for $18.01 from a local dealer
@914sixer - at less than $1/each from eBay it wouldn't hurt to have a set of these
@davep - yes, the pics I posted initially may be CAD plated, but if so it was a poor job from the factory or perhaps they get beat up during shipping. Not a good look if you have a restored wheel
@mepstein - thanks for the offer. My originals look similar, but I thought a new set from the dealer would look better than the photos they provided in my initial post
@burton73 - not a bad price for caps, but am looking for a nice bolt in either chrome or CAD plated

I found these from Mid America Motorworks, but with a 24mm thread length, they may not be long enough. Has anyone tried these?
