Which ball seat for AMG Aero II
I am new here, in fact i own an Audi, but i am trying to mate a pair of older AMG Aero II to the Audi, i picked up some bolts that fit 14X1.5, but i believe the radius on an audi bolt is R14, i think on these amg's it is smaller R13 or R12. does anyone know which one it is?
Thanks in advance..

This is hard to wrap my brain around, but isn't a ball seat a ball seat, i stopped by the mercedes dealership a couple days ago to have a look at a M12x1.5 bolt for a merc wheel, and the M14x1.5 bolt i have to fit my hub it looks exactly the same other than shank diameter. The ball seat part of the bolt is the same, which is what i am worried about not seating properly.
thoughts?

Yes, a ball seat is a ball seat is a ball seat.
But if you don't have the correct shank diameter shank, it won't bolt up, obviously. So that's the key, once you've figured out the cone vs. balll seat issue.

That's what i wanted to hear, the shank diameter of my bolt is 14mm to fit in the Audi hub, so i had to drill out the wheel holes from 12mm to 14mm to accept a larger bolt. Thanks for the help guys, here's a pick for reference now that i stripped the black paint off 'em.
