Default Aftermarket Wheel Bolts, galvanized?

I want to change my rusty 11 year old wheel bolts, would really like some galvanised or chromed ones to suppres rust.

There are loads of different galvanized ones on German e-bay but as far as I can understand German they are not for factory alloys, and they dont have the domed washer (kegelbund) as a separate piece like the Audi ones. I think Audi ones with separate washer are a better design, shame they are not galvanized.

Anyone here running on non-factory bolts or know of good alternative to Audi bolts?

Plenty places here in the UK that would galvanise your existing bolts
