BBS gold bolts

[jesserobertbaker]

Used the search...couldnt find the answer i was looking for.

I plated my original BBS RS bolts a few years back...plating held up well....but its time to change.

Other than BFI and JustMatz where can you source them from? That being said...are BFI's gold bolts inferior? I have herd stories of premature rusting etc. Anyone bought from Justmatz?

Lets add to the list racing team hoffman, and tuner shop. I've ordered from tuner shop and had nothing but good experiences with Ingo. I just dont know about the quality of their bolts...same with racing team hoffman.

Anyone with dealings or having purchased gold bolts please chime in!! good or bad!

That would be my first choice. Of course, you could always send a batch of chromed ones out to be gold plated too...

I'm not speaking from any sort of experience here...but i was under the impression that JustMatz got all their bolts from hoffman, if anyone knows any better, feel free to correct me if im wrong!

And i did have my original BBS bolts gold plated 3/4 years ago. they lasted a decent amount of time. That being said OEM bolts are not stainless, and mine did eventually end up starting to corrode. It took a few years....but it happened. I'm actually wondering if ordering a set of stainless bolts and having them plated so i dont have the corrosion problem again. I have herd the BFI gold bolts have this issue.
