Check with Chad at Velocity Motorcars (do a google search - it's not the VMR "Velocity" company).

I discovered these guys when I called Rad's North American distributor looking for black Rad wheel bolts. He recommended Velocity. What they do is send regular silver ones out and get them dyed black, but they're real Rad product and they're black. Of course, they do them in batches, so if he's out of stock you might need to be patient.

Looks like no black RAD locks at the standard length of 26mm.

i am afraid that RAD does not make them in black.
They are the only cold forged bolts on the market that we know of and they use this special dacromat coating that really helps with the corrosion and prevents seizing.

we have actually painted them for personal use but do not recommend any other coating as this really ruins the dacromat coating.

If you are looking for black bolts and locks, we have a couple of options that are not RAD.

Feel free to PM! thanks!
