Low profile wheel bolts??

I love my Vossen CV3's but the rear bolts stick out too far because of the small back pad. The fronts are fine and recessed. Does anyone know of a bolt that had a smaller head??

Ouch, good looking wheels but I agree. I am looking at some of their wheels too so hopefully someone will have a resolution.

Might be hard to find low profile bolts because of the strength needed from them... but a set of black lug bolts would help blend into with your wheels.

Let me know if you need a set we have both ball and conical seat black lug bolts.

I have CV3's, too, and they don't stick out nearly as far.....I don't know what brand they are, though.

Car looks great. Sorry but I don't have an answer for your questions and I do have a few questions:
Do you remember the percentage on the tint? That is exactly what I want.
For lowering, I am a bit confused. Renntech has a module that lowers the vehicle by computer. Did you go with the KW because you wanted a stiffer ride. I feel the AMG adjustable suspension to be acceptable on its stiffer settings?

I believe i have 12% (1 step down from limo) on the sides and 6% (Limo) on the back.
I've always had KW's. The ride is still great. Haven't heard too much about the Renntech module but the KW's lower the spring perch and not compact the struts.
