Another Solution to Rusty Lugbolts

After replacing my lugbolts with the new style ones (with the separate "washer") only about a year and a half ago, they once again looked like something that I picked out of the junkyard. This is ridiculous and I was not going to spend money on the plastic covers to sweep the problem under the rug, so to speak.
I did some searching and happened to come across some alternate lugbolts (some of which I think others had mentioned here), and in so doing, found that they were cross-referenced to some BMW lugbolts. I did a bit more snooping and found that they have exactly the same specs as some BMW lugbolts (within like 1mm of length). Since my wife has an '02 325xi I "stole" one of hers and compared it to mine. Sure looked like a match to me.
So I decided to try a set of black ones ($2.95 ea), the same that were on her car, and ordered a set from Bavarian Autosport ( http://www.bavauto.com ). Here is the part number if anyone is interested: 36 13 1 126 014. Just search for the part number and it'll take you to the page. They seem to be the same for all E46 and E36 BMWs (maybe others as well).
I've been running them for a few weeks now with no problems. I also like the look of the black ones, they have cleaner look about them, and if they DO get a little rusty, it won't be obvious (my wife's have a couple of small rust spots, but you wouldn't know it unless you got up really close.
