Not sure what a tapered bolt looks like mate . the ride quality on the 15 s is immense tho its amazing what a bigger side wall does especially on this countrys knackered roads

The head is V shaped and not flat. What tyres have you got on yours? Any hub caps or centre caps?

I like them - very unique  :happy2:

Looks like they've done a good job too!  Where did you get it done?  Need to get mine done  :party:

they are already fitted but as it was dark when they were finally on we couldnt get pics! they were done by vanden powdercoaters in bolton, they charged 140 including shot blasting to remove the rust! think it was £60 for shot blasting and £80 for powdercoating.
