Newbie Wheel Fit Question

Hi Everyone,

I've never purchased wheels for a vehicle before and I see that my 2002 w463 (270cdi)'s wheels have a circle in the center that secures the wheels to the ___ in addition to the lug nuts.

If I buy non-Mercedes wheels for this, what do I need to look for in order to make sure that the wheels attach correctly?

I know that I sound like I don't know anything (terms) about this and that's an accurate reflection of reality.

---

A little bit about me/it is that I'm in Nicaragua (US Expat) where I purchased this Latin American model and have been enjoying it for 3 years. I've been slowly bringing it back up to "like new" condition with a couple improvements to the 2002 model.

She's dark green with black extras and black interior.

Thanks in advance.
Colin

You need to be sure the wheels are "hub-centric". That is what that little lip is on the wheel. Any reputable wheel manufacturer or retailer will be familiar with the term. Good luck.

Thanks, I really appreciate it. Are there different sizes?

Only one size will fit your hub. I'm sure there are other sizes but focus on your vehicle's requirement. I'm not sure of the diameter but perhaps someone on the forum has better information.
