lugcentric?

I took a front wheel off on my car for the first time recently and was surprised to see that they were lugcentric. As far as I can tell, they are the factory wheels. Can anyone confirm that their SL also has lugcentric instead of hubcentric wheels?

Mercedes wheels are hub centric with radius seat lugs.

Wolfman already answered, but what made you think/say that your (assuming factory) wheels are lug centric(never heard of any OEM wheels not being hub centric)? No lug centric (non hub centric) wheel should ever be used, for that reason all aftermarket wheels made with a generic hub come with correct hub centering ring for a given car manufacturer.
