Yes, but you will have to change the rear sprocket and carrier too. The rubber cush drives are totally different between the original MZ and the later Grimeca wheels.
The front on the other hand will just bolt straight on.

do store your spoked wheels because the alloy ones turn to junk at about 10 years

corrosion sets in on the inside of the rim under the tire and they have to be cleaned and repainted or they leak air

Oh yea, In India when we swap tires and tubes, we'd sand and paint the insides of the rims.
Cool.
