Update: I bought a new set...thanks to all that messaged me.
Does anyone have a set of these center caps from the OEM 20" wheels I can borrow? Maybe someone replaced their wheels and has these lying around? I want to get a set painted Selenite Gray but my G550 will not be here for a few months. I will pay the shipping both ways if you send me your set, and when my vehicle gets here I will send you the new ones off the wheels. Please PM me if you can help.
Again "man", if you have nothing useful to contribute, keep to yourself. No one is holding a gun to your head to read threads, and comment on them.
And I can search as well - no need to buy something and waste money if someone can help me out. I did something similar on my Porsche with steering wheel parts and I had more offers for help on Rennlist that I ever imagined, and no one had your attitude.
PS - Since you seem to know so much tell me which ones are the ones I am looking for. What is throwing me off is the how the center cap on the Black wheel looks since it appears there a quarter-round section around the chrome ring - is that on the wheel? Maybe someone that has these wheels, Black or otherwise, can post a pic of what the center cap looks like off the wheel. And if someone has the Black wheels they can give me the part# off the back. If no one can help me out and I could find the exact ones I just might be a set after all!
1. Mercedes Center Wheel Caps are 75mm - which is the mm measurement of the opening it snaps into
2. In "Mercedes speak" there are two "types" of center caps - "Flat type" example photo posted - and "Raised Type" and I have posted a photo of that 2nd type as well. The "type" refers to how the center cap "sits" when inserted into the wheel - and does not refer to the type of emblem shown on the wheel cap
3. MB-Genuine/OE center caps are not a budget buster whether purchased online or retail from "most" MB dealers - "China Knockoff's" have come far up in terms of quality but even the best knock-off's fall a bit short on the backside - OE's have the tension ring/clip-in - most China use plastic tabs rather than locking ring.
Knock yourself out ... much to do about nothing much..
Thanks, I assume the 2nd pic is what is on the Black wheel I posted a pic of?
I am not sure what you mean by "Knock yourself out ... much to do about nothing much." but like I am planning to make my G550 the way I want it to be, with some custom touches, just like my current Porsche and Harley, and just like all of my past cars & bikes - is there something wrong with that?! We all like to do things that make us happy so don't try to bust my bubble since it will not work.
