I think it could be pulled off but it would need pretty much work. I do not like the mixture of that color and that wheel.
Those pictures are stolen off ebay, and i have seen that exact listing locally where I live in PA. So I wouldn't even doubt it's fake.

Take those wheels and grind the sides of them smooth (where they flare out slightly like a tooth of sorts), then touch up the paint and they'd be decent. With that Viking sword shape to the spokes though they look dumb.

With the spoke shape they're goofy - I am not sure they'd look right on anything but Mad Max's ride. There's just something not quite "right" about them.

i found them on my local craigslist. the lug holes were smaller than the audis so i had a machine shop bore them out a little. older merc wheels come with a 12mm lug audi is 14mm.
