Yes, I believe Vanagons sometimes require that MB rims be machined slightly
in order to clear.  Also, I wish those rims were 6" or wider, or came in 16"
diameters.   I think the Fuchs or Empi copies would look sharp on a 123.

Be careful.  I *think* the center hole diameter is different, but I
can't remember whether it's the VW or the Mercedes hub that's larger.
VW and Mercedes wheels are "hub-piloted" -- there must be a tight fit
between the center hub and the wheel center, because this is what keeps
the wheel concentric with the axle.
