A bit off topic but, just bought a set of HRE monobloc wheels and the caps HRE provided are just junk. They should be embarrased to send such micky-mouse caps with a purchase, considering the cost. Junky plastic outside ring with a stick on plastic logo thing. If you're going to send this kind of junk, don't send anything at all. They do make nice aluminum caps for only something like $600 each, ya like that's going to happen. OK end of rant.
Ended up with the Ebay AMG caps and look fine.

$600 for cener caps! damn thats just nuts

I had lost one of my Rinspeed caps once and it was $50 to replace - thats pretty steep to me also - Its just a Cap!

I've just called my wheel distributor and they confirmed these 60mm/57mm center caps will fit my incoming wheels. Oh, happy day!

They look great except the logo is incorrect. The original AMG didn't have the ///// before the AMG letters.

Also the new MB AMG logo has a straight "A" where the right side is parallel to the "M".

So they need to make up their minds here, if you will use the new /////AMG logo then get the "A" to be parallel to the "M". If you are using the original AMG with the "tree" then take off the /////.

PatSC23

so what is the history to this logo?

PatSC23

lucky you - had I known this center cap was around last year I would have had my wheels cut to fit that size - oh well

Nice looking, but not the right size for the W204 C63.

PatSC23

the gray on the right side seems to match the brushed better

Will post pics to let you guys judge

Hey what is the correct size for the C63 hood and trunk? Does anyone know?

superlubricity

I just measured the hood emblem and it is approximately 57mm.

I just saw this - EBAY is significantly cheaper for what seems to be the same thing.

Im not quite sure if there are originals of these that sell for more, but the "knock-offs" on Ebay are real good quality based on the original set I bought. For me as long as they fit and look good Im fine with it since they arent functional.

I ordered this new set for $22 plus shipping - grand total $37. Will post them up for u guys to see if you are hesitant on buying them off Ebay.

I'd be interested in seeing what they look like when you get them and put on the rims. i'm still deciding what i want to get.

Bought a set of the ebay AMG's for under $40, delivered. They came two to a box and have a plastic removable coating to protect the finish during shipping. Fit is fine and look like they belong there. Blend in with the brushed finish, a bit more glossy than the wheels, but not bad. I'd say worth the investment, actually anything to get rid of the crappy HRE centers. Can you tell I don't like the plastic junk HRE ones? UGHHH!!!!!

So, does this fit the C63 ? could someone post a link to an ebay auction for this? what size do we need for the c63?


EDIT: just read in a post above that the OEM hood emblem is 57mm. can you get this one in this size? why is the emblem diameter different from the standard w204 c-class?

PatSC23

I checked with the vendor that sold me centercap and they didnt have them in our size

PatSC23

Hey thanks! that gives me an idea - I think I might just like it - we'll see in about a week when they arrive

heres where i found them - looked through a bunch but it doesnt seem to fit ours.

They have them for the W204 but it must have a smaller hood emblem than the AMG (it says 50mm fits W204 on the EBAY auctions)

PatSC23

i guess its ok if I jack my own thread -

Hey olszowa12 - what type of fogs and eyelids you have?

olszowa12

I have OEM fogs and eyelids. They just look like LEDs on the pic.

I want to buy LEDs for the eyelids this week. I'm not sure if its that easy with the fog lights??? Anyone??

In the US its much easier for you to get this kind of stuff - just go on ebay and search for error-free leds for w204.

I'm going to buy these cuz it's a German shop:

PatSC23

I saw a couple threads in the W204 section with burnt housings - so Im probably not doing anything with LEDs in the eyelids.

I did see Polarg wedge bulbs that give off a nice white-ish light thats plug and play though.

Your avatar pic definitely looks like LED - thats y i asked

PatSC23

Experiment failed -

So I got the center caps - exactly as pictured and mint condition. But as many said, just didnt jive with the brushed/polished wheels.

If anyone (most likely with black wheels) is interested, Ill send em to you, $26 shipped in the 48 states (the $1 is for paypal)

I paid $37 shipped and only opened one of them to look at it and decide it wasnt right.

PM if interested -

they are this pic, not the first one I posted in the OP

I ended up just going with the standard mercedes ones... i didn't want to already draw more attention since my C63 is debadged. i have gotten tons of looks by people driving by with 19s multi-spoke which is awesome. that is what i wanted.

W204 C63

can someone photoshop these onto our oem rims powdercoated black? if they look good ill take em off your hands

ill try to find a good picture
