Here's the scoop. My 20'' wheels from my cadillac didn't fit on my 2001 Benz. So I went on many different websites and looked in the Lorenzo LO-1 18'' rims. All sites said the wheels fit for the make mdel, bolt pattern etc for my car. Purchased wheels. I had them put on. Went to get a tire rotation a while later and they said my wheels did fit my car right. Had them taken off for winter , that company said they didnt fit right either. Had them put back on this spring and the dealer said, "ya, they really dont fit right" I have centering rings and upgraded lugs. So basically I am afraid , really afraid to buy new wheels. I am worried this will happen again.

Has anyone else had this problem...... or.................

Does anyone with a 2001 C320 want to share the type of wheels they have?

I really want new wheels :)

Where did you get the centering spacers for the rims?

I purchased new wheels for the mercedes,  i did not use the same wheels for the cadi and the benz.


The hub centric rings came with the wheels

I bought 18" Mandrus wheels www.mandruswheels.com  for my 2003 E Class. They came right out the box with no fitment problems.
