I'm getting anthracite wheels and hoping to find bolts that will disappear against the wheel rather than contrast. Not looking for a scuff and spray paint solution!

14x1.25
27-28mm
60° conical

Also looking for aftermarket TPMS sensors for that are orderable as anthracite finish without having to choose a $40/set finish upgrade. Even a darker, non-shiny silver might work.

Any polite suggestions?

You can get Anthracite valve stem covers for Huf/Beru TPMs (Apex sells them as do others).

I haven’t seen Anthracite wheel bolts — the closest are likely to be Titanium ones (see ECS).

Thank you.

I saw the titanium wheel bolts, but their $$ is outside of my mission to keep dinner table discussion about "those wheels" to a minimum.

I also saw the Apex anthracite valve stems on the Apex accessories page. They're $80/4, and I would rather put that $80 into a set of anthracite-ish aftermarket TPMS (with new batteries!) if I can find a legit set.

FWIW, you can find the HUF Intellisens RDE027V21 on Amazon for like $33ea iirc. They sell the HUF stem colors on there too.

Would black wheel bolts not be the right option? They're what I run and you can't see them at all

Yup. That's the TPMS I settled on. Amazon only had (2), so I bought (4) with a $10/ea gunmetal option from the TPMS online store with the shortest possible name. I appreciate your replies!

Thank you for the picture! Black bolts ARE the right option. Nice ride! I looked for that combo (wagon/Diesel)when I last car shopped but crashed and burned.

I was the opposite! I wanted petrol but they're far and few between here in the UK and didn't want to smash the budget for a 340i etc, so settled on my 325D which TBH, has turned out to be a superb car
