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
the alloy ones on my 2002 rt125 are getting very tired

corrosion sets in on the inside of the rim under the tire and they have to be cleaned and repainted or they leak air
mine are a mess as i live in a very humid area ...

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