I've considered doing the same thing and the ARP 12 pt stainless sure would look good but would be very expensive also. If you find a good source for some nice looking bolts let us know. Thanks, Max

Blofish, did you use the 12pt or regular headed bolt. When I had my wheels polished they polished the steel bolts that were in the wheels. Looked good for many years but now the steel bolts are beginning to rust a little. I even considered buying the Grade 2 stainless and polishing them myself but I hate those low grade bolts.

The original Super Trick bolts were not even a grade rated bolt, no stamping or marks of any kind on the heads. Maybe thats why they started breaking off on my front wheels. I do remember when I changed mine out that they were fine thread .

All the Cragar Super Tricks I've bought and used had grade 8 fine thread bolts in them I had a set of them polished years ago and the shop bought a batch allen head type (I don't know the proper name of them, sorry) button head stainless steel that he had his polisher polish, they worked great

Be careful - aluminum and stainless are far apart on the galvanic scale and with moisture severe corrosion can occur - pretty sure the aluminum would be sacrificed but I can't say with certainty.

I had two unopened bags of super trick nut/bolts from the 70’s. I sold them a few years back when I restored my polished set of tricks. Apparently they are hard to come by based on the selling price.
