They look like Mercedes Penta alloys too me. Sets have gone on ebay recently for £200, so £300 is way too much
Plus you will need spacers and longer bolts/studs

Borbet wheels are very different to Pentas and may well fit straight on vs the Pentas which need longer studs/bolts to be fitted.

I've met him. Bought a gearbox off him early 2005. He's called Chaz and is a nice enough guy.

We don't need to ask - looks like you spent £558 on four wheels.
Lovely, if you like that sort of thing.

Thankfully we don't need TUV certificates over here, which is how it's so easy to just fit what engine and rims we want to these buses.
