i've been pondering about the thought of changing my bolt pattern to 114.5...
just so i can get some lightweight and cheap wheels from the JDM camp.

it's hard to find volks TE/LE 37's for our 5x112 bolt pattern, and i've been looking through Audi forums and others whatnot..

so should i find a shop to do the machining? or should i get these bolts?

are these "wobbly" bolts?

right now i'm just toying with the idea, any good feedback would be nice. thanks!

ahh- i don't think i would go for those bolts- that just seems like an accident waiting to happen.

wow, interesting I won't mess with it, not sure about the safety.

tommy,

just get BBS or WORK rims and call it a day....

but i want volks thouugh, lmao! i'm just toying with the idea, i don't even have money yet, lmao. some te-37's would be sweet though

he did you check out the wheel spacers that let you run any 17-20 inch tire on your stock rims? SWEET now I can have the profile I want without buying new wheels!!!!!

put the volks on 350Z and leave C alone...

LOL, it's not my car though..

however, she does want some 19's.. a black matte finish with T/A stripe would be sick. alas, my search continues.

oh, and i think i found a target, i'll let you know later if i can get it or not.

It's possible to have the hole filled in and redrilled to our spec....
certain wheel shops can do that type of stuff, but it won't come cheap.

it'll probably easier just to get a adapter rather then redrilling.

trying emailing these guys and see if they can make a 5x112 pattern

did you check the hub bore size on the volks? if there smaller then the mercedes hob bore size your out of luck anyways.

Also the audi wheels won't work on mercedes because of the hub bore size.

audi has a 57.4 and the mercedes is 66.6.

i know, i was looking at some classifieds and they added the hubcentric rings and isht. i'm still lost; it's just a thought, hopefully i'll be able to get a set soon

order it from TWS. ask albert...he had TE37s on his custom semi-wide body A4 Avant, custom ordered.

i'd rather get it used, as the te's are discontinued.. well, at least from what the shops tell me. i couldn't afford new rims anyways, lol. there's a shop in rosemead that has a new set for sale, trying to negotiate right now.

too bad not a whole lot of people running them on Audi. you find way more BBS wheels on Audi used.
