Wheel Cap size 70mm

[Hollis]

Enthusiasts! New member here. I would like to carry out a simple task of replacing my centre caps before I get the rims refurbed. My net search was plenty with 75mm diam replacements however mine are measuring 70mm. Maybe these are an aftermarket wheel? I do not want stickers. Can anyone point me in the right direction or shed some light on this? I’m not sure where the previous owner sourced these from?
Please help...

I’ve checked, only 75mm outter diam, not 70mm...:/ proving difficult..

All you'll get are 70mm blanks with stickers.

Use a suction cup to remove one of the caps, then check the MB part number on the back, and Google that. If there's no MB part number... then the caps are non genuine.

Same applies to the wheels... take one off and check for an MB part number on the inside.

If the wheels have plastic spigot rings there not mb wheels.

I’ll need to check. I know that the actual centre cap is metal and not PVC/plastic...

The genuine ones are plastic... not metal.

One of my centre caps literally fell off yesterday and it looks horrendous, I’ve ordered some cheapos £10 off eBay and all I could find was 70mm bud so don’t know if I’ve maybe searched something specific to get that or just a fluke but sure I just searched Mercedes centre caps

Spigot rings sits in the back of the rim and aligns to the hub when fitted. Most aftermarket wheels are made with centre bore of say 70 mm then a reducer ring ( spigot ring ) is placed in the hole to make them fit any wheel size from 70mm down to 60mm for instance. I'm not talking about the wheel centres .

This is a genuine (well worn) Mercedes centre cap. Hopefully these pics will help clear up any confusion.

PS I got my replacements from eBay with no issues.

Interesting, I’ll investigate..

Thank you for this, I’ll need to look into this as my outter exterior diameter measured 70mm. I’ll need to take them off. How is best to remove these?
