It is hard to judge based on the photo, but would an OEM wheel cap fit? If so, consider replacing all four....both the blue and black ones should be available. If that's not appealing, I have to think you should try going back to whomever provided those wheels.
Those wheels look striking on a Maybach; would be interested in a full shot of your car to get an impression of how they fare on something different.
BTW: Chinese tires get a bad rap. I have no experience with them, but interested in how your experience has been with these?

I had Chinese tires on a motorcycle I bought....couldnt get them off soon enough, they were horrible!!! Cheng Shin was the tire, put on AVON, night and day difference. It is your life, will anyone risk it to save a few bucks? Not ME

Not me either, and I would not look to save a few bucks on tires, Chinese or not. But my curiosity is from the perspective that Chinese tires have such an abysmal reputation that I wonder where exactly the truth lies. There's no reason why a Chinese company couldn't make excellent tires, if they wanted to (and the market would pay for them!).
They look like Chinese Maybach Knock-offs and I would contact somebody that sells these. If that company followed the standard sizes for MB center caps you could try to buy the original center caps. But that isn't likely and the center caps will cost more that the replica wheel itself. Still, the real caps look infinitely better. Here is a pic of the real wheel...

Doesn't China produce most of the worlds rubber too?? Go figure! Thailand too I think.
Picture quality is different but hard to tell otherwise. Obviiously the centercap is different......slight difference.......one thing is that this wheel is growing one me! Is that bad? lol

The real ones are so striking and (no offense to the OP), I am now kind of turned off on the knock offs! The different center cap design on the real ones really makes a different visual impact.
Definitely not for me. I have never liked any Maybach wheel.....I don't know what it is about them, they all look massive, like locomotive wheels. But, to each their own Good luck with your search!

What do you think of these, Sunfuncomet? Guessing not for you...but call me crazy....I like 'em! I think you can get the AMG GT Sedan with a wheel like this, and I like that , too.
