What are the differences between Mercedes 5x112 wheels and Audi 5x112 wheels?
Just looking at some options here, but want to know ahead of time what sort of PITA this might turn out to be.

Jeez, WFT do U want from me?!?!
I have no idea. I do know that the bolt patter is identical, and that the lug bolt seat is the same. SOoooooo, ASSuming you can get your hands on a wheel to test it out, you could find out if the hub is the same diameter, or not.
I've never tried it, but I could - I can has both cars...

Audi hub is 57.0mm, MB is 66.7, so you'll need centering rings.
Also, early MB wheels used 12mm instead of 14mm bolts, so you may need to drill or ream out the bolt holes if they're older wheels.
