Default Hre wheels

I'm getting my wheels pc and in the process a lip replaced. Should I :

get new standard M8 bolts(not stamped hre)
pay for the $$$ for "hre" bolts
or
polish my original bolts?
I believe these bolts are chromed.

You can order fake $h_t or get real USA $h_T. Gnna pay out the **** for it but u pay to play. I think I'll try to polish'em up first and if that doesn't bring a shine to'em then new ones it is. This is my first set of real wheels so that's why I'm tryin to get others opinions.

Send ur bolts to Chris @ dipsht.com and have them polished or dipped in copper or gold ^_^. My vote is polished. His prices are great.

Pm me if you need his cell# he is in Elk Grove

Finally completed about a month ago. I polished the bolts, by hand ea, and came out nice. There's a pearl on the paint which is difficult to see in the pic.

I know I know. Lol. I have minor things that I'm embarrassed bout, dumb stuff like my pitted bumper( daily driver) ect. Wheel Techniques( Santa Clara) hooked up the paint, did an excellent job. I was considering diff colored bolts but decided to stay with the polish & chrome look. I'm slowly gettin into the chrome blue or red look for the wheels.
