Looking for stainless wheel lugs?

I'm working on a 2000 Boxster fixing it up. Looking for wheel lugs to replace the OEM ones. I have been told to go stainless but the only set I have found is on e-bay and very spendie! Any input on lugs and where to purchase would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I have an extra set of Booth Design (Booth Design) lugs for the front that I dont need anymore as I am now using 5mm spacers all around. I only got fronts, because they are the lugs that are easiest to see, and as you say they can be pricey. The Booth Design are the best I have seen, but they retail for 12.00 each, ouch,

Sorry to hijack this thread but quick question - what do the 5mm spacers do? I am ready to order one and saw them on the list.

The 5mm spacers make your wheels sit wider, which is great if you have 18" wheels and have lowered your car. That means you cannot use the stock lug bolts, you have to get longer bolts with spacers.

Bob, I ordered these on mine. Gives the car a slightly wider stance. About a 1/4 inch. I have the 19" Carrera Classics, and the spacer aids me in the wheel cleaning process too.
