I wasn't really suggesting that you could/should put them on, I just made an observation that they might have been interchangeable. There are bolt-on adapters made for Smart cars that allow the use of Mercedes 5-lug wheels. Why? Who knows. They're still out there, though.

My best guess would be the ability to have access to more/different aftermarket wheel styles than are currently available for the Smart's 3x112 pattern.
