newb lug question
forgive my newbness, as i am new to the MB world, but something has me a little confused.....
i pulled one of my wheels off my 2000 E430 the other day to see if a set of rims I have would fit, and realised the lug studs are bolts that go thru the rim, as opposed to what i've been used to in the past with lug studs coming from the rotor, and rim mounting to those via lugs.
my question is, are certain types of rims used for this type of application? or do most/all rims work with the bolts as well?
the rims i have sitting ar 18" ADR Battle EXE's and i know in the mounting holes on the rim its a "slanted" angle towards the rear of the hole and accomodates tuner style lugs. just curious if the MB bolts would mess this up, or if there is a certain type of mounting required

Looking for a new toy.
Depending on the specific wheel, you may need longer lug bolts (as I did for new O.Z's). But the requirement for lug bolts, instead of studs/lugnuts, should have no other effect on the wheels fiting or not.
