Purchasing center caps question
I see I can get mercedes benz center caps for my wheels on ebay, but the auctions seem to state they will only fit oem mercedes wheels. Do I just order them and hope for the best? Also, to install them, do you have to remove the wheel to pop out the current center caps?

I measured the center on my wheels and purchased them. they fit perfectly, you'll need to remove wheels to remove the old ones unless you want to destroy them.

If you happen to have a MityVac and its accessory kit, you can snorp them out with a suction cup.

Be careful of buying center caps without seeing them, or having a REAL good picture. The quality (and fit) varies a lot. What pattern/color are you thinking of getting?

I was thinking about the chrome mercedes benz ones you could find all over ebay before today I can't find them on there any more. I don't think it even mentioned the size.

They'll be back. They're just hiding because they know you're fishing. Many of the sellers have the sense to list the size, just keep looking.
