Absolutely right, so when you mounted the wheels they centered on
the bolts instead of the hub like they are supposed to.

You could have had a machine shop make four small spacers out
of aluminum that have the Mercedes hub dimension as the outside
diameter, and the Audi hub dimension 57.6mm as the inside diameter.

In fact, many wheel manufacturers are able to stock fewer part
numbers as they bore the wheel hub way oversize, then stock
different hub adapters to be fitted to the wheel depending
on the ultimate application.

Now, as for the unscrupulous first dealer, aaarrrgghhh!!!
He sold you something that didn't fit, he should take them
back at full value.

I would contest the charge with your credit card provider,
assuming you used plastic to buy them.

Good Luck
