Post Wheel bolt "conical" washer

I am having trouble finding the conical washer which seats between each of the five wheel bolts and the wheel.

On older 996s, you could slide these off the bolt and use on longer bolts. Now, Porsche has crimped the end so that you cant slide it off the bolt.

How can I find either a) longer bolts (for 7M and 18MM spacers) or b) these conical washers?

Thanks

If you have a strong monster sized blade screwdriver , you can pop the crimp over the bolt 's retaining ring by twisting the screwdriver between bolt head and collar and then unscrew the collar . Longer bolts supplied by H&R don't have the ring. Just file the crimp slightly to reinstall the collar to std bolt in the future if you remove the spacers.

When I put spacers on my C-2, I had to go with longer bolts that did not come with the washers. If you have a bench grinder, just grind off the crimps and the washer will slide easily off.
