I like your thinking. I have 4 "plasti-bolts" that hold my center-cap in place, so I can have my bolts come up through those, just like you are proposing.

I was thinking about a single center bolt, but I think a single bolt screw itself off unless I got "counter-sink" nuts and bolts for the other side of the car. You want the wheel to be "tightening" a single-bolt solution when you are driving in the forward direction. Know what I mean?
