Real Chromed Lug Bolts

I kinda hijacked Smartbillet's thread by mentioning my find. Sorry about that.
Here's the scoop. A while back ago, I picked up these chromed lug nuts at ezaccessory.com. They're 12x1.50x24mm with ball seats. The price was cheap at $1.69 each. You also order by the piece. That's nice because you don't have to order a set of 16. Of course, more added weight with chrome. As for the McGard locks. I got them somewhere else at a good price but not cheap. Actually, the locks may not be necessary. Not much call for 3 lug holed wheels, eh?

you can get them from your local Discount Tire store too... they usually have some in stock.

Which McGard Lug Bolt Would fit?

I noted the 12x1.50x24mm with ball seats bolts found at the previously mentioned EZAccessory.com site.

I am also looking at chromed locking bolts. I found mention of $113.00+ Mercedes bolts. I have also found two versions of McGard lug bolts at SummitRacing.com (this is the first such site I have looked at, though there must be others).

They are:

McGard 28175 - 12mm x 1.50 RH x 0.917 in / 23.2918 mm length

and

McGard 28172 - 12mm x 1.50 RH x 1.098 in / 27.8892 mm length

Will either of these fit the Chrome Wheels of our newly acquired (orphan) 2008 Yellow Smart Cabriolet Passion?
