Yep.
Ryans modenas are a good example. same face uses different lips to either create 16s or 17s.
Comes down to the designSarcasm is easily calculated on vortex dude. Take 4 parts GLI lip and divide by BBS RS. If you are left with a remainder, subtract it from omgmoarlow. Profit.

doing a set of 17" zauber monoblocks that i picked up with tyres for $200 in jan haha
here's how the bolts came out, i left them in coke for like 3 weeks and it got most of the shit off them, then borrowed a tumbler off someone and left em in for about 90 mins, came out great for ~25yo bolts.
i've split them all and stripped most of the paint on 2 of the centres but i don't really have much time to finish them myself, being at college of law and so on... so the centres and outer lips are gonna be refurbed at a shop, going with full polished lips n centres
OZ futuras that i did myself (also purchased for a stupidly low price, less than 1k and they're 18" lol) refurbed the outer lips and bolts myself, got the centres and inner barrels powdercoated, u probably seen them before, currently on my cl9

i had my style 5 bolts "cad plated" i think it was. cost around $120ish from memory, and they turned out pretty good. still holding up well

Cad plating would be a good option....I was going to suggest that.
Depending on the bolt size and whats available on the aftermarket side of things, the shades of gold vary quite a bit. The ones I bought to do my 16in BBS are a very strong yellowy gold, but the ones I've just used in my ACS are quite a bit more on the dull side.....like a chrome with a slight tinge of gold in it....so shop around.
