“R14 Ball Seat Bolt“ Question

Hi all,

I just ordered a set of 4 x 15mm spacers for my 1999 base with 17” silver OEM rims. Got them today but it looks like the bolts are smaller where they make contact with the rims, before the thread start, compared to the original. I re-read the description and it says “Wheels must be compatible with R14 Ball Seat Bolt”. I am not certain if OEM 17inch rim’s are compatible. From my search here, I think so, but it’s inconclusive so I felt it prudent to ask the experts. Are they?

Also, the bolts are black, not silver like on the picture. I was going to return them just because of them being silver but I read that some members here actually like the looks of black bolts on the silver rims as the OEM bolts get rusted and looks get destroyed quickly. Thoughts ?

Thanks

Here is what I purchase.

I checked and they are supposed to be hub centric.
