Wheel Center Caps
Has anyone purchased new wheel center caps caps recently? Are the aftermarkets just as good as oem's? Mine have peeled in only 2-3yrs. I see quite a few on ebay at various prices. Thanx all

Mine peeled too. They were replaced under original warranty. If you are on good terms with your mb service advisor you shoukd have no problem getting this done.

This seems to be a pretty common issue. Has happened on both of mine but it is only seen up close. When you can notice it pretty easily from a few feet a way, I will replace them. Since they seem to not last very long I can't image that the ones on eBay are worse. I bet toucheless auto carwashes are the culprit in my case.
