I has been done but unsafe and requires a special bolt to be safer. Our cars use 12mm bolts whereas the W211 uses 14mm bolts with a different lug seat. Smaller bolt in a bigger hole and improper seat. You can however, find replicas that are made specifically for our cars.

Actually I am pretty interested in getting a W211 wheelset as well for my W210. I know all about the lug bolt issue, however, wasn't there someone who posted here that you could actually get a 112 mm lugbolt with a larger "head" that could be used precisely to seat a W211 wheelset in a W210 car. I cannot seem to find the particular discussion.
If I could only get those bolts then I will probably buy myself one of these things in ebay.
thanks...
