At work I saw this great looking VW Beetle Turbo with some great looking aftermarket rims. Parked next to it and when I got out I noticed these great looking rims were Mercedes Benz rims. Could they have removed and replaced the MB logo from the center hubs?
The only things that matter for wheels are the hubs - right bolt pattern, right offset relative to width, and sometimes small details like right hub-center inset that positions it on the actual rotor or hub. After that, diameter and width are up to a sensible owner, and load rating is rarely an issue until you get to one-ton trucks.
There are many wheels that can swap among brands if you have the exact size numbers and their ranges. There are wheels that are produced for multiple brands - I am sure I have seen the same wheel on new Honda, Subarus and Toyotas, for example.
^^ Yep - on many of their rims, both VW and MB use a 5x112 bolt pattern so they match up. They may have to use hub rings or spacers to make them fit correctly beyond that.
They could have, but part of the thing with putting Mercedes wheels on a VW is letting people know you have Mercedes wheels on there.
they didn't because the big AMG stamped into the wheel itself says it is mercedes.
