What I was going to say, gonna wish the the shorter ones had been fitted when you get a blow out and the bolt snaps.

Can we just stop there
I just ask if anyone has any of those, 2 to be precised, I did not asked the risk, the danger and all. If I wanted the above reply I would have asked.
Thank you.

Hi Olivier
The 2 bolts I sent you ... Are they the correct bolts for your car and your wheels ?
If they are, I can send you 3 more.
Then you will have 5 identical bolts for one wheel.
This should give you enough spare bolts like on post #1, so that you can put 5 identical bolts on the other wheel.
Then you can be sure you will have no balance problem.
(That is ... As long as your wheels are balanced !!!)
Cheers.

Hi John,
Never got yours, might be as all my spam are not allowed and you were "thought" as a spam.
They look different tho? Not sure I like different bolts...
Yours also look like "shredded"? Especially the top one? The seat look like it "moved up"?
This could be the reason why they seized? The metal was too soft?

No problem Oliver they can sit in my shed. Hope you get what you need.
Hi John,
it was not a bad thing I was saying, it was just a "remark", dunno how I can say that? Just that the seat on yours look like it was pushed in, deformed, then I was just wondering if it was what had happen to the dreaded bold as the metal got a different shape and stuck to the wheel.
Again, what I say was just a thought and was not a bad critic toward your bolts and the kind offer you made me.
I hope this is clear.
Cheers.

Not a problem Oliver no offence taken at all. I will sent them up to you if you would like them. If you don't like the look of them just put them in the metal recycling . All free gratis for a forum buddy.
PM me your address if you would like them.

Hi John,
Thank you again for this but I think they will not fit. The one I have are odd but I thought they were " the norm" on old MBs wheels, but it look like not? I will see what John CO send me see if they are the same as the one I have, then I could do a "whole "wheel ( 5 studs) with the extra one he will send out to me, if not I just have to wait and see if anyone has 2 of those creepy bolts...
Again, thank you very much.
Night night for now

Hi Olivier.
No problem.
I will send you one extra bolt today.
Then you will have an identical set of 5.
All The Best.

Olivier, if you need any more I also have a set I no longer use. Just send me a PM if you need any. Make sure to put a dab of copper grease on the threads before fitting as they have a reputation for sheraing (Hence no longer available from the dealer) if they get too tight after being on the car a while.
Back again...
Millo send me some bolts, that was nice, unfortunatly thay are too long...
Who would have thought that there were that many different types??? They are sticking out my alloy as the "neck" is longer
See pictures.
Cheers
