    Default Which Mercedes centercap fits the M Systems?

    Have heard tell that one of the Benz centercaps fits the centers of the cover-less M Systems... You guys know which one it is?

    Thanks,
    -Trevor Ely

    Maybe he wants to fit BMW M rims to a Mercedes and feels that it would be a bit weird to keep the BMW centercaps on?

    No, no, no guys...the Benz caps are one of the few that fit the cover-less M Systems. You have to shave down the '3 pointed star' so you can stick a BMW roundel on there.

    I'm surprised nobody knows on here!

    Trevor,

    you probably saw that post I made on Roadfle@ about the center caps. I am going to find out what the MB part is, my friend bought some and offered some to me.

    Thanks a lot! It's for more than just looks actually, trying wouldnt mind keeping some water/foreign objects from possibly slipping into the wheel bearings(even though they're sealed).

    I owns Mercedes and I can tell you one thing about the cap. They are all the same size regardless what car it is for... they all use same cap just have different styles to it.

    So just run down to the dealer and pick up a plain vanilla grey center caps and see if it fits.
