These are actually bolts and YES the factory ones rust, and likely they won't replace them under warranty unless you have a good relationship with your dealer as Porsche doesn't consider it a defect but rather a wear and tear item, like brake pads.
I have a few questions. The bolts from Boothe Design do look amazing but how do they hold up? Since they are chrome plated I am guessing it won't scratch off like paint would. That said, has anyone painted their bolts? Probably would need to be painted often, and the paint might just scratch off every time the bolts are put on and off, but it may be an easy solution for stock bolts. As for the Boothe design bolts, how much does a full set cost? I couldn't figure it out from the site. And finally, what size bolts are needed for wheels with the 5mm spacers? Thanks for any help

I too highly recommend Ralph's bolts. I got a set of black ones for Her987CS and a set of chrome ones for my CS. They really do finish off the wheels appearance.
I bought the Boothe Design bolts last month and the cost was:
Wheel bolt locks = $95.00 per set of 4
Wheel bolts, 30mm = $12.00 each x 16 = $192.00
19mm soft socket = $29.00 each
You need the soft socket to protect the chrome.
It may seem like a lot of money but the quality is superb!!
Don't worry with Wheel Enhancement chrome bolts. Mine rusted and they happily informed me the warranty is only ONE year
I'll go with RB next time.
Wheel Enhancement
Nobody gives you more ways to get the look you want:
1. Purchase new Porsche Factory alloys.
2. Purchase like-new used or restored Porsche alloys from us.
3. Have us refinish your Factory alloys. We restore, anodize, polish and chrome plate.
4. Purchase our aftermarket wheels--we offer the very best, including Kinesis, Fikse, BBS, HRE and Champion to name a few.
5. Exchange your straight, true Factory alloys for Factory alloys pre-finished the way you want.
6. Exchange your scratched/curb damaged Factory alloys for new or refinished Factory Alloys.
7. Trade in your straight, true Factory alloys for aftermarket or Factory wheels. http://www.wheelenhancement.com
Mine rusted in the first 3 months, dealer changed them but asked a lot of "do you use an acid wheel cleaner" type questions. They didn't have new lock bolts, so they painted them. 3 months later they changed them again, but said "This is the last time" as if I was a naughty boy. So ultimately I also called Ralph up but went for studs rather than wheel bolts as at trackside it's a pain in the ar$e trying to hold spacers when you put the first bolt in and /or put a wheel hanger in. So now I'm on studs that I use alloy black wheel nuts for road and change them to steel for use on the track. If in the UK they are on my site here:Motordrive Seats Suspension/Engine(including Differential)
