those replicas should be made for MB. mostly w204 because of the high offset (don't know if this is correct, but that's how i call'em. lol higher # higher offset).
the VW/Audi needs the hubring because they have smaller centerbore in general. I just found out new Audi like the new A4 now have the same centerbore as MB btw.
if that wheel when you put it on the C55 requires you to use hubring I would not put them on the car. main reason is you will also need to run a hub centric spacer. hub centric spacer plus hub ring is not very ideal.
but since these are mainly made for MB fitment I don't think you'll need anything other than the spacers. just get the H&R spacers and run the RAD bolts and you will be fine.
a lot of time when you see someone's wheel fall off etc. they always want to blame it on the spacer, BUT they overlook the quality of the bolts they use and the proper length of the bolts they use. ****ty quality bolts can snap off at slightest sign of over torque. I've had it happened on mine when I had cheaper bolts.
