Not keen on the bolt being proud for two reasons, the first being the aesthetics as I just like the look of them being flush and secondly someone could get a chisel to the bolt head to wack the cover off to get at the wheel nuts.
It's an Allen key hole... why use a chisel ?... If they have the stuff to get the wheels off.. Jack / correct nut socket / extension / etc might they not have an Allen key also Anyway.. no problem... I can C/sink them as big as you like... but it just give you a knife edge on the back as it will go thru to the other side.... thats the only reason I used a smaller one...

Can you get them countersunk like the OP's were going to be so that the fixing bolt is flush?
Interested in a set if you can.
Well spotted! I'd also prefer to have the fixing bolts countersunk, like the originals, as I still use the original bolts and it does look better flush IMHO.Interested in a set if you can.

So you can't use these anyway... the only way to do this would be to C/bore the recess in but this would require a boss on the back to go into... which in turn means the backs of the discs need milling and not turning as they are now...

Apart from that I just like the flush look and we are obsensivly talking about a visual trim and effect.

What is the reverse side like? Is there not a 'collar' like the originals to take the fixing bolt?
Its like the OP's.. with a spacer you put on the bolt... fully turned at the back so no boss...V8 GRF said:

Okay... David.. You still in?
just 1 more set required then and I'll get it done.....
It wasn't clear from your answer to me if it was possible to have flush bolts, if it is then I'm in and I'd want them sized for paint please. ;-)just 1 more set required then and I'll get it done.....
Anyway.. still 1 set short... John
Hi, I'm interested in a set of these as one of my original centres fell off and the others are a bit tatty. Will have a set as long as they are a good match to original wheel colour and easy to fit. Do you get the centre badges from Clever Trevor and are they just stuck on? Will there be a carriage charge, if so do you know how much? Thanks Chris
