Please check the recent posts regarding Mercedes/Audi wheels -- the bolt
patterns will fit BUT the offset is way off (43mm vs. 30mm). Compared to
stock VW 6" alloys you will lose about 1 1/4" total track width using
Mercedes wheels. Unfortunately, this will adversely affect your
handling, the life of your wheel bearings, and the wear on yer tires (in
spite of what others may say to the contrary ;) ).

Cheers,
MJS
