The 7's might touch the steering components un a 2wd Vanaagon. Trial fit
them. I have driven out the steel inserts in older style (Bundt cake-style)
MB wheels. I haven't really seen any of the newer wheels with steel inserts.
If the lughole seat is conical or ball seat under the insert, then You may
be able to use them as-is. Some of the wheel inserts I have seen used on MB
wheels have a stepped seat wth a flat bottom. Not ideal for a lugnut or bolt
to sit on. =(
