Thumbs down

Why did you buy it if you knew they had a different bolt pattern?

I am glad someone stepped up and answered him finally, basically you wasted either time, money, or both on rims that you cant put on your car.

12 mm bolts on the MB. Take a 9/16 drill bit and drill the wheel holes out. Now you should be able to fit those 12 mm bolts in there. Not pretty, elegant, etc but it answers your question. Unless you want to R & R the brake/hub assembly to match the wheels. Duh.

Firstly i didn't mean to offend you if i did,and am glad you got free wheels, certainly wish i had a hook up like that. And secondly never drill holes in your wheels like other forum members mention, CLK wheels are lug centric and if you play with them you literally could be gambling with your car and your life.

Drilling is not what i intend to do here ( i'm not that stupid, i think ) . I was hoping someone can pop out something like replace the brake rotors with ones that have the 5x114.3 patern or ....???
