Luke - Need lugs?

Luke,

Im picking up a set of used Carlsson 2/6 18x8 et35s for my w124 95 e320. I've had problems with aftermarket wheels and lugs before and was wondering if I can use my stock lugbolts on these Carlssons. The guy I purchased them from got the Carlssons from you guys a while back before they were discontinued and simply used his stock Mercedes lugs on his c-coupe. Can I run stock bolts with aftermarket Carlssons? If not, does tireack still have lugs available for this wheel/car combo? Thnx

depends on the weather
the Carlsson wheels are designed to use a conical seat lug bolt and OE lugs are ball seat so, you can not use oyur OE bolts safely

Go to Puremotorsports.com for lugs. Get the number from their website and call them. Look for Michael Kim and he will take care of you. Nice guy, sponsors the Mbworld website and has made custom lugs for me before.
