After having mine for five years, they're still as shiny the day they went on. Good luck Sprogs in getting a new job soon and thank you for doing a great job.

An old thread revival here but with the sad end to the Sprogs' fantastic s/s wheel bolt production, does anyone know of an alternative manufacturer that we could try for bespoke s/s wheel bolt production?
I know that it is going to be very hard to find such good quality and value but I would very much like to see if I could get some made up for my car, they are showing signs of corrosion already. Sprogs unfortunately is not able to recommend anyone that would meet his standards.
Thanks all

Stainless steel aint a good material for making wheel bolts, period... they may look nice but it's a very bad material for bolt clamping loads!
All manufacture's OM wheel bolts are made from a malleable mild steel mix coated with chromium plate and there a good reason for this!
I know over the years I keep knocking on about this subject....but if you fit any non standard parts to your car your insurance unless you tell them is null and void..
No Idea what Ben was doing when his shiny bolts failed, but I hope he wasn't any near my grand daughter's bus top!
