355 Wheel Nuts

[Tonsils]

Anyone out there got a view on sorting out corrosion on wheel nuts? Options I could think of were;

1.Send of to have re-chromed (but would need spare set that fit or it would take ages).
2.Covers, have seen various vendors but 355 needs 22mm and haven't seen any of those
3.Buy new ones, serious money

Re point 1, has anyone had this done and can recommend a specialist?

Thx

I had this problem many years ago, the chrome was flaking of. So i bought a set from Paul at http://www.hillengineering.co.uk/catalog/index.php
Problem is that even though he makes fantastic products, chrome is still chrome. And they still flake of over time.
So next time round i just had them re-chrome. saved a siht load of money and did it over the cars lay up over winter.
Or of course there is the mega expensive route, titanium!!!
