Powder Coating Bolts PCBolts Review

I have some SCS Ray's 10 wheels. Matte Gunmetal.

Great looking wheel, but I personally don't like the faux bead lock look very much. One not being real and two I see a lot of other faux bead lock wheels with rusty bolts. So I wanted to address the rust and downplay the bolts.

I order Stainless Steel fasteners (Button head cap screws) from McMaster Carr
M6 x 8

https://www.mcmaster.com/standard-rounded-head-screws

Then I sent them to PCBolts.com

Wow, what amazing quality!! Zero flaws, even coating, no paint on threads, and great packaging...and fast turnaround! Shown is Stealth Gray, I still wanted a little contrast and this color is a dark gray.

I am a ID/ME with a focus on consumer goods. I have dealt with powder coating around the world. It can be pretty awful at times. To do it right required the right prep, and then the right process. These are some of the best examples I have ever seen.

Plus they have developed their own process that drastically reduces chipping when torqued. I had to install 80 of these guys, zero chipping when I torqued them down.

Anyway, in my opinion they are the best option to paint/powder coat bolt heads, washers, nuts, etc. out there.

Center cap logos if you are interested. My second car with these. No issues at all.

Looks good. I did the same thing last week, however since SCS no longer offered the black bolts I had to go to a competitor company to get them. Bolts look identical to the ones that came with the wheel from SCS.

Can you let me know where you order the black bolts?
Thanks.

Yes, please share!
 
I blacked out the bolts on my rigid aftermarket grill with the same bolts about 6 months ago. No rust and they still look new
 
It looks like the VTX bolts are painted. A good solution that I may go with, but I am doubtful that they'll be as good as SnowYeti's end results.

Yes they are. I didn’t have any paint rub off or scratching during installation. Just FYI for people considering this option. SnowYeti’s option is a great one too
