Wheel hub cap repair/replacement (C63s forged wheels)

[TomJ]

Hi,

Going over the C63s that I recently purchased and noted that at least two of the centre hub caps on the matt black forged wheels are scratched. Looks like someone used the wrong tool to remove them previously. See image.

Are they repairable/refurbishable? Replacements seem pretty hard to find.

Image of car is also attached for your enjoyment. Absolutely loving it.

OEM cost £16-19 each on ebay, just refurbed mine. I dont think they are repairable

Thanks, I am assuming the aluminium ones on the car currently just pop out and can be replaced by those on eBay. Just seen like for like replacements on eBay for £165 each

Thank you. I was open to all colours at the outset but the brilliant blue grew on me as I viewed them (quite liked selenite grey also). Was after a saloon but a wagon came up in the spec I wanted. Took a trip down to the seller having said that I was only looking out of interest. But suffice to say I fell in love with it. Did some due diligence and couldn't resist.

I quite liked the silver aswell but went with brilliant blue 1 as it was fully specced out
Enjoy

OK yours might cost more. I got the flat ones for £16 each

Next question Tom . Do you actually have the correct tool for removing them in the car with you ? It could be why it's damaged. The wheel needed to be removed and the correct tool was no where to be found ?

You can't replace the centre part/badge as this forms part of the whole centre cap on the forged wheels. The centre cap is around £170 each..

I have the exact same wheels (good choice ) and had a problem getting one of the hubs off even with the correct tool.
The centres (on mine at least) are actually a hard plastic sitting inside the alloy disc.
The plastic screw part inside the hub (that you can't see) got damaged.
I looked at replacing one and then found out the cost, so I managed to refit the thing ok in the end !
I've not seen any cheaper replacements.
