Tiny chance? Have a look.

Looking to replace the metal Merc star on my wheel. 17” original Benz wheels. Anyone?

Ebay has those hub caps all day long.
Then again, so does the rest of the internet.
Google "mercedes hub cap" and you'll get a few million hits.

Pop that center cap off and look at the MB part number on the back and once you punch in the part number you can buy those all day long on eBay.

Trouble is it’s not a hub cap. It’s a chrome star. Not a cap. Nice bit of patronising all the same.

What's the part number of the wheel? It's in raised lettering on the brake side of the spoke

you're confident this particular OEM 17" Benz rim does not have a removable center cap?

maybe there is miscommunication here:

- you either acknowledge it's a cap in total but just want the star in which case they don't sell that separate unless you buy a cap with the star and somehow creatively pry off the star for you replacement purpose
- you don't realize that the cap and star are one part and this is why people have multiply recommended to simply get a new cap that has a new star or even four new caps for uniformity
- help people understand how they can help you better, there may be something about your request no one is understanding

why do you think people are patronizing you?

Yeah, it's basically a center cap. They're on ebay. Either use the part number mentioned above or pop the center cap off and check the MB part number on the back. There's lots of them out there for sale. Some of the cheaper ones are knock offs and don't have the MB part number on the back. They normally don't sell that star piece separately so you need to buy a new center cap.

It's a star.
On a cap that it is an integral part of.
On a hub.
Good luck with your search.
