Correct wheel bolts for SL type wheels

NIce wheels you have there! Perfect width/offset for the 500E. 
I believe the original, correct bolts with slightly extended heads and a chrome/stainless (?) decorative cap are NLA, but you may be able to find some used. These were also used on the 124.034 and have a head height of 22.5mm as shown at this link. Photos below:

These are the bolts currently available from the dealer, the head is a little shorter and less pretty, but they work fine:

X 100 on what Gixxer said up above. I additionally agree that those particular wheels absolutely rock on the E5E. And my inner corksniffer is ecstatic to see correctly sized and offset wheels going on a car for a change...
I wasn't at home when I asked about the wheel bolts for the SL wheels. It turns out that even the "doubleheaded" 85mm long bolts sits very low, looks like the very rare 100mm doubleheads would be the correct fit to maintain a good look. That is, top of polished bolt head to be flush wih the surface of the wheel.
