Center cap question...



Does anyone know if center cap "E" will fit my '05 C230 sedan's 17" wheels, and does anyone know of a cheaper place than Performanceproducts.com to buy them? They want $17/each!!

CitronC230K_03,

If you have the time, please post photos of those center caps on your rims. Curious to see how it looks. Thanks.

You got a set of 4, brand new "star & laurel" center caps for $.99?! That's a steal!
BTW, I've found them for $38/shipped on eBay.
