Late to the party, but I've been thinking about putting smoothies on my VW new beetle but I have the opposite problems I have real bolts. If I had lug nuts I would buy the longest lug nuts with the specialty tools to remove them, cut off the very end so the threads are visible, and make a little adapter to hold that smoothie to the rim, essentially a short tiny Bolt same thread as studs. Because I have stupid lug bolts it's a little bit harder, ideas are JB welding nuts to the wheel, I thought about brazing it. If you got access to a tire balancer you could spin The rim and grind up the excess brazing in the bad spots. I too wish to keep my 16-in aluminum rims
