Default Fitting Mercedes wheels on an A4?

Has anyone put Mercedes wheels or Mercedes-tuner wheels (AMG, Carlsson, Brabus, ...) on his Audi A4?

I know the bolt pattern is the same for most cars.
Is the offset correct?
Do we need hub centric rings too?

Show some pics if you have!

Thanks,
Nadim.

Default You need hub rings, and some wheels need drilling.

The bolt holes are typically drilled for a 12mm shank bolt. Audi uses a 14mm bolt, so on some wheels (Like AMG) our bolts won't even go through the bolt holes of the wheels.
