Personally i would probably go for the ebay's to get the looks (definately not for the ride!) and then save up for a good set.

Yeah its alot stronger, brake the word 'high tensile' down, describes itself really. High tensile bolts on our cars (normally 8.8 tensile) are gold coloured, the bolts iv been using (which are from west brom fasteners (FTW!!!)) are 10.2 tensile and are black
