try the caps from your stock wheel first. if that don't fit go large or smaller accordingly. stock one should be 68 or 70mm.

I could not find a set of center caps that will fit. The diameter was correct but the lenght was to long, about 3/4in more. So I modified the existing ones. Here is a pic.

Thanks, actually my mechanic did the job. He took out the "moda" center piece, paint the center grey and glue the star that he cut out from some old MB center caps that he had.
