Wheel Lug Bolt Color on 2016 TTS 19" rims
Can anyone well me if the lug bolt on a 2016 Audi TTS 19" rim are chrome or black or silver/raw metal?
Looking at the pictures online the 19" rims come with one of those large centre caps that cover up the bolts so I can't see it.

I want to get another set of lug bolts for winter and I want to get the opposite color to what comes of the car so the tire change over place knows summer lugs from winter lugs.
Thanks,e

In the US the TTS 19" rims don't have that 5-star hub/lug cap but rather black-plastic-capped lug bolt heads showing (over grey lug bolts; along with Audi ring hub cap).
I wanted to maintain black lug heads showing so got a locking aftermarket set from ECS Tuning, which look similar. https://www.ecstuning.com/ES2795760/
I had a prior set of grey Audi locking lug bolts which I painted black for Winter to go with my 18" rims (not visually similar, but good enough).
btw: although again we don't have the 5-star lug cap the tool to remove same came onboard rather than the proper cap tool, despite a place for it.
I suspect in your case they are also gray, but with no black caps, as hidden anyway by hub/lug cap.

Thanks. Hopefully my TTS comes with the large centre cap, I think I like that look but if not I can get them from eBay for $24. I already bought a set for my winter rims.
What color was the factory bolt until the black plastic cap?
Was it the silver/raw metal look?
Thanks,

Yes, the silver/raw metal look. Again, I presume yours in Canada will be the same type. [oh, I now see you beat my further clarification edit.
