Will, I have them on my 1982 Westy. They came of a 1986 380SEL. All you have to
do is drill the lug holes out as the MBZ has smaller lug bolts. There is a steel
insert in the wheels so drilling will not harm the wheel. The big thing is the
lug bolts and studs as they have to be longer. I used Porsche one and they were
costly. The wheels have been on the Westy for 2 years with no problem.     Bob
