hello everyone.
Just wondering if these type of wheel bolts exist for our cars to give it the extended stud look?
or even like a wheel bolt cover for the head to give it this look? its not worth it imo to swap this setup to studs and do the stud conversion just to use the extended lug nuts.
with the new wheels the bolts are "invisible" since they sit so far in the hole.
all i want to achieve is to get a set, color match them and have them sit flush with the edge of the face of the wheel.
ive attached a pic of what im talking about. just not in that finish and to also have them sit flush and not protrude outwards like that.
thoughts on this?

I'm sure they do, they mainly make them for use when you use a wheel spacer. I'm sure some of the sites sponsors have them in stock.

all i wanted was that style "nut" to put over my bolt and use it as a cap or find those bolts with the long heads on them.
i know someone who can operate a C&C machine going to find out if they can machine some for me..
