Can you get a photo of them? There's a few places that sell the hardware for multipiece wheels, though it isn't cheap (Work bolts are about $20 for 5, each wheel has between 30 and 40 depending on the model, you do the maths!).

It might be worth checking out the wheel whores forums http://forum.wheel-whores.com/viewforum.php?f=7&sid=3421f4c9f5c70e3e3a4d2e216f8d9745 they have a section on multipiece wheels (in the UK they call them split rims).

This store sells split rim hardware http://stores.ebay.co.uk/SRR-UK though it's not genuine stuff. No one makes purple ones from what I've seen.

It might be worth cleaning up your existing bolts and having them anodised. Which will also be really expensive.

I'm refurbishing some Work Anhelos at the moment (3 piece wheels), and I'm polishing the bolts individually.

As far as polishing the wheels go, it's a matter of wet sanding starting at about 150 grit paper and then working your way up to about 2000 grit. Then getting some polish and a buffer and buffing the hell out of it. It's a lot of work. There's heaps of info out there on it though...

you might get lucky and be able to paint the head of the bolts. sometimes you can torque the bolts up with out having to put a spanner on the head cause the head of the bolt can bit in thus allowing you to paint them. fella i know has done this and it came up really nice

A good trick when wet sanding alloy is to use WD40 instead of water. The paper will last a lot longer. 150 grit is a bit coarse, I would start at about 400 working up to 2000 unless the scratches are deep.
