Anyone running old school mercedes hubcaps on their mk3's??? Thinking of doing it and wondered if anyone here was already doing it.
If you are post a pic with the size of the wheel as I've heard you can get them up to 16" diameter...
-
They would 14" or 15" if you mean the metal ones, all the later plastic ones are 15" or 16".
-
That's what i suspected but my friend is convinced he saw metal ones in 16". I suspect they were coachbuilt or he made it up.
If there are ones to fit a 15" wheel then the actual diameter would be nearer 16", so maybe that's where he got confused.
Either way, I love the look of them.

Something different
Do you mean these btw: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/mercedes-hubcap-/290501020163?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item43a335ca03

They're the ones I love and am looking to get, although that set seems somewhat over priced at £80. Here is one car I've seen that belongs to a friend of a friend...

Really uncertain on that especially on a bog standard red Golf. it looks like some kinda granny wagon. Although it's not to say i don't think they could work well on another vehicle with the right styling.
-
Those wheels look lost under them arches.
-
I think that maybe they do need spacers behind them, but i like small diameter wheels.
What styling would you suggest??? I'm interested in hearing your opinions
-
Yeah some spacers would definitely make a difference i reckon. Im in two minds though if they suit the mk3 with it's rounded styling, the more i look at them the more i just think they should be on a mk2.
Ive just found these slightly different ones on a mk2 which i personally feel would look better on the mk3 in this instance.

I know it's a very Marmite thing to do but wouldn't these look at home on a ratted motor with roof rack, white wall tyres and all that jazz?

Those are later 190 and 230 covers, should be cheaper and easier to find.
-
Not sold by ANY of them :( And i love my old skool shizz!
Go Segins or something, look tidy!
But at thai said, They would look semi- decent on a ratted Mk3 !

I remember the green was written off, he got the met red already moded but add his own bits and pieces etc I believe.
Always liked the green one as it to me was just right and not overdone if that makes sense.
