Aftermarket wheels often have irregular wholes in the center as they achieve their "proper" position on the car by that which is achieved when the lugs are tightened, usually into a champhered lug hole (hopefully at least).

A factory MB wheel centers itself onto the car on the hub. The hole in the center of the wheel determines the center of the installed position. Try positioning a factory wheel. If someone in the car holds the brake you can spin the wheel on the hub and the lugbolt hole will pass by direct on center. Does that help?
