Wheel studs
Hi I’ve bought some after market wheels for my 2002 c class and I need new v face in place of the ball face , I was wondering if you knew what diameter the studs are , I’ve found some I can buy on eBay but I don’t know what diameter to get 12 mm or 14 mm

lol how about measuring the ones you have? 
they are 12 mm.. make sure they are the right length as your new wheels hub may not be the same thickness.
you could also have looked up parts. here for example: https://www.rmeuropean.com/Products/...G36-V3556.aspx
not meaning to be mean but I tend to have more of a "teach a man to fish" attitude in forums.

Do not guess. Go to a reputable wheel spacer and stud manufacturer or retailer and enter your car's particulars to find out what will fit. If you buy them from ebay, you may be sorry. My 2004 C230K has 12 mm studs. I paid about $100 for them and they fit perfectly. Secured them with a little Loctite red. Motor Sport Hardware carries many varieties. You may want to contact them. Otherwise, you can measure them with a micrometer.
