14mm lug rim on 12mm car??
Can I use an acorn style porsche bolt or tapered to make up the diameter difference so that I may use an sl55 rim 22 spoke rims on my c55?? I really want to make this work to have a clk63 black look and am determined to do so but wish to do it as safely as possible. What is the best and safest way to make up the difference?
I was also thinking about using a sleeve insert like they do on my race car rims by cooling the insert then pressing them in for a great fit. Ideas where to get such inserts so I don't have to machine them or what is quick easy and safe?
Thanks! Sean

Awesome! I am looking on their site. Which ones are the ones you're referring to? They don't say what the diameter is of the collar or whatever, just the bolt diameter and style. Thanks Sean
