‘24 AMG GLC 43 - plastic inserts on 20” wheel

Just picked up my new 2024 AMG GLC 43…

has anyone removed the plastic inserts for either cleaning or aesthetic purposes?


20” AMG wheel from 2024 AMG GLC 43

Any advice would be appreciated.

Easiest way is to remove the wheel and push it out from the backside. They're held in place with 3 flimsey plastic tabs and a tensioner ring. If you try to pry them out from the outside, it's easy to snap off a tab (and maybe scratch the wheel). Last I checked, replacement caps cost about $30 ea.

Well that’s not the cases here. I took off my rims off my car and noticed the the plastic little things attached to the rim as bolted down by screwing the back connecting to the metal there’s a picture somewhere here if you look you can’t take the metal off which would look worse.

The plastics piece is bolted on

Sorry -- I think I misunderstood you dilemma. I thought you were referring only to the MB star hub inserts.
