Same rim design but different size
This is my first post here so bear with me please as it may be a little confusing. I have bought a used AMG GT 4-door that came with these (in my opinion) god-awful 21-inch rims. I am looking into swapping them with these (also 21-inch) rims. The thing is that in my country, the latter rims are only available through Mercedes dealerships and their price is very exaggerated and expensive. I looked at rim shops and none of them have the rims.
The design of the rims I'm looking for is available in other models such as the E63 S and S63, albeit the size is 20-inch rather than 21. The width is also different for the E63 S (which is also different from the S63). My question is: is it possible and safe to use the rim of the E63 or S63 (or any other model for this matter) that has the same design in my AMG GT? I'm asking because most rim shops here have the rims for those two vehicles.
For reference, here are the specs of the rims that have the desired design:
I apologize once again if this is unclear.

For reference, here are the specs of the rims that have the desired design:
- GT 4-door: Front 21 x 10J / Rear 21 11.5J
- E63: Front 20 x 9.5J / Rear 20 10J
- S63: Front 20 x 8.5J / Rear 20 9.5J
