SL/R129: Brake Upgrade question

Brake Upgrade question
Need to replace brake system on 99 SL500 and thinking about putting the Silver Arrow edition rotors and Akebono pads.
my R129 has 17" rim and wondering if the Silver Arrow edition rotors would fit ok.
Has anyone installed on non-sport packaged R129?

Well, my 1999 r129 was not a sport and had the 17mm teady bear wheels.
I however, replaced my wheels with 18 inch AMG ones and changed out the rotors to the zimmerman drilled ones along with techstar pads.
Very happy so far.
