But wheels from another manufacturer on a Mercedes look silly ....
OK from a wheel manufacturer eg BBS, etc but not another car manufacturer ...

Ever seen Porshe wheels on a VW bug? Yeah, the cool one your drooled at. You remember it.
W123 alloys wheels on a Camper van work very well.
How about a scooby on Porker wheels?
@ Mark - post the size and offset of the wheels you would like to fit and someone should be able to help tell you they will fit, posibly even Howard!
How about a link to a picture of the style you mean?

Seeing as a lot of Vag wheels are BBS thats a bit of a silly comment
Modern 5 stud VAG wheels are 5 * 112 so thats the same, but as far as I know the centre bore of the Merc is bigger at 66.5mm as opposed to 57.1mm.
I have actually seen after market alloys wheels advertised to fit straight on to Merc/VW/Audi/Skoda as they do all share the same PCD/stud pattern as others have already said...
Personally, I would stick to MB design alloys OEM or Replicas...

Cheers, and point taken.
Merc wheels on a VAG look better than most VAG wheels would on a Merc to be honest.
