What is up with my brabus center caps!

I am so annoyed. Another one of my Brabus center caps is broken. Three of the tabs are broken and I just found it lying on the ground next to my car. Strange thing is it was lying near my rear tire and fell off the front tire. Either that or someone is trying to steal my caps and just leave it there after he broke it. Is this a manufacturer defect or something? Both were from the front wheels. They are original brabus with brabus insignia on the back side. Anyone know a cheaper place to get these replaced, last time it cost me $50 for one.

Oh yeah, I've been in that predicament before, walking towards the car in a parking lot and just to my surprise...a missing B cap. So I purchased a full set of B caps (authentic-only of course) for those unexpected occassions. If your in search for a spare, look no further I've still got (3) left...let me know if your interested.

Brabus Chrome Center Caps

Hi, I am new to the forum and I just read your post.

I have a 2001 S500 W220 and I have Original Brabus IV 20" Chrome rims. I happened to return to my car after spending the day at Magic Mountain and one of my chrome Brabus center caps was missing. I can't seem to find a replacement. I live in Northridge, CA and noticed that you are in the SFV. Do you still have any left. I need one.

Please contact me via email or respond here if you have some available.
Thanks.

How come the Brabus wheels on our ML55(see sig. and websites) came with the Mercedes "crest" center caps? Although, the car did come with the Brabus wheels from the dealership, they could have done it themselves

they either took them off or never installed them at all. it should have had the centercaps.
