SLK alloy wheel centres - where can i get some for my 500E

[tobyd]

Hi,

Just been siiting in traffic next to a mk1 SLK. Looking at the alloys I noticed that the centres are a nice combination of the
Merc star and the silver wreath on a blue background around the edge.

Does anyone know where you get these from (other than a dealer) and if they will fit the centres fo my 500E's 16 inch 8 holes?

Also does anyone know a good alloy wheel refurbisher in the West Yorkshire area?

Thanks for you time.

You can buy them from Merc for About £8.50 each.
Not bad for the genuine article

Those are the one's.

I think it will be nearly as cheap to get them from the dealer so will take your advice.
Thanks.

i think the reason they are cheaper than the dealer is that they are plastic and the one's from the dealer are metal.....

I've got the same ones in blue from MB on my SLK.
Don't tink they are made in metal, just plastic as the silver ones.
The only metal bit is the retaining ring.
