Mag wheels

Hey guys

I have a question about fitting mag wheels to my dub.
I have a 68 beetle with the 4 stud pattern. M14 bolts.

I purchased mags which require a flat bolt head apposed to a radius.
These appear to be rather hard to find.

What are my alternatives keeping it within rules and regulations?

Are studs a viable alternative?

Ive got a set of Speedilites from Performance Wheels which have a square shouldered bolt and flat washer, rather than chamfered or radiused shoulder. Works fine. Not certain of legalities but it wasn't a concern when i blue slipped after moving to QLD.

Andrew,
you can buy the correct wheel bolts through Vintage VW at Campsie,
Ring & speak to Mike,
