Nope. Centerlines are way different than Mk1's. Note.

My old Centerlines. Rounded nubs in the wheels, many more holes. The face is a bit different and the holes and lugs are different. Centerline lugs are through lugs, MK1's are not that i'm aware of. They resemble each other at a glance, but not when you look closer.
