What do they look like? To me centric is a generic term for
wheels that have a center hole that fits on the center ring of
the brake disk. All the shock of the road is then transferred
through that rather then the lug bolts as in some other cars.

At a glance, it looks "classic"...
My 82 300 D came with a set of Centric wheels, high end custom Mercedes kit
for the day... They are stacked in the corner... steelies and caps look
much more "classic".

I respectfully disagree. The bundt wheels are more modern and better
looking on any Mercedes built after 1973. The painted hubcaps look
anachronistic except on the 108 and earlier models.

I have a set but they are 5.5 not 6. Is there a disadvantage to using
these narrower rims? I was going to remount the almost new New
Michelins from the bundts to the steelies?
Check with Michelin the range of rim widths your tires can handle.
If it includes 5.5, go right ahead.
