My brain hurts from your post. I already answered your question the last time you asked with sizes and everything. Read my man.

I'm sorry and I'd like to help but I can't understand your form of English.

i actually have seen a few Audi's with Mercedes wheels that have larger hub diameters...

There was no vibration or any issues. You have to imagine that the 5 lugs hold the wheels pretty sturdy in place. And keep in mind people that use lug adapters and wheel spacers take away from the inner rings purpose as well and really don't have any problems.

I'd question the wheel balance before i even thought about replace the wheel hubs.

Cause honestly..... for the price and labor involved. You'd be better of buying another set of wheels.

I have Mercedes wheels on my GTI. I went over all the specs as stated in his last post. He asked the same question last week. You need the rings the be perfectly balanced.

He's talking about hubcentric rings (somewhere in that jumble of typos and random periods), not spacers.
