Those are surely big and busy bolts! I'm currently working on a project using a lot of M1 and M2... those mini hex head screws. Screws are a marvel... I almost love screws.
Moving those pics below across, my my self  Those wheels are alive man, they have an upgraded soul, a story to read and feature to bling! Although not as important as screws, wheels still deserve some love and care 
Well done to you if you ask me, nice add-on for wheels and surprisingly looking nicely balanced on your speed roasdter. Not bad at all

So aren't they standard wheel bolts?
Anyway, I will try the paint finish first and if not right seek advice on the best looking replacements.
We keep adding these refinements to our cars, and I've only had it 12 months so onwards and upwards.

yea those are the standard Porsche lugs. You can't paint those but can clean them real good from time to time with a rotary steel wheel, or a hand SS brush, if you almost love screws too! They come back to life with little effort.
I covered mine with little black plastic hex caps I got for $1. I cover the inner wall surfaces of those caps with grease using my finger, leaving about 0.5 thick of grease in there. Those sit quite tight onto the hex head and lugs behind stays nicely protected and clean.

Did you just throw them on randomly?! 
The point of the crest should be pointing at the valve stem...or at least have them all oriented relatively the same. 
Looks good, aside from that.

Ahhh, didn't know that.
Anyway, I only just put them on so I put them vertical so that I could take the pictures for the forum post. Off to adjust them right now, they are able to be twisted whilst on.
