I am willing to bet the 300C does have a 115mm but that they are running 114.3 rims.
Kael,

Thanks, but no thanks as I have run hub-centric rings (again no thanks) and tolerances are everything when you are talking wheels and parts that use the physics to back them up. When you tighten a lug nut on a wheel it pulls the wheel to center on each of its lug, so the .7 has to go somewhere (some might get lucky and it's equally distributed among the five lugs). Although many people likely run the 114.3 pattern on a 115, it is just not the ticket for me personally, but I appreciate the thought.
