They are awesome. I emailed him and he literally called me back within 5 minutes.

I posted them on CL but check out these variation/wobble lugs if you don't need to space out your wheels: http://raderwerks.com/parts_details.cfm?type=9

i know about the wobble bolts too but a better alternative is putting sleeves in each of the wheel holes to make the difference. you can put 5x114.3 wheels on a benz 5x112. talk to someone at rbwheels...its cheaper and safer

thanks for the posts.

i'm going to investigate the wobble bolts...

actually, i'm trying to go 5x112 wheels on 5x114 car, so i guess it'd have to drill it out, then put in sleeves..

Wheel machining/sleeving is very expensive in my area. I just ordered the wobble lugs on Monday and will post results soon. I am putting some 5x112 wheels on my 02 Q45

hey, thanks for the input.

I have a 2000 AE that i am considering putting some lorinser wheels on (since nobody wants to buy the wheels) just for kicks.

would you happen to know if the stud lengths, etc would work this way? (you mentioned a few things on the CL post i dont remember off the top of my head..)

thanks! cant wait to see your wheels, and hear about your success

Whatever you do don't deal with Lakeshore Wheel and Tire. I ordered on Monday and have received no response from them after 4 emails and 2 ph messages. I have called my credit card company and asked Lakeshore to cancel the order. I am going to order from Radarwerks instead: http://raderwerks.com/parts_details.cfm?type=9

I am not sure what you mean about the studs. I think the studs will work fine because most manufacturers use about the same length.

My biggest concern is that the lugs may be so close to the lug sleeve that will be hard to get a socket on it to torque to spec. They have 19mm heads so I will probably need a thin wall socket.
