They fit with five screws each and look pretty solid. I can provice pics if you like, they were $90USD for the set.

I think that place sells Uro brand trim, which is stainless. Still, the price is good and if they fit nicely and are either restorable after being scratched, or will be made far enough into the future that replacements can be had, then I might go with them. I guess it would be wise to buy two sets in case anything happened to the first set. I wonder how well they fit and cover the lips on the W116 model.

I used to prefer the stainless ones but now I think I'd rather have a set that can be refinished (though maybe stainless steel can be chrome plated if it gets scratched up?). I almost bought a nearly perfect set from a wrecking yard that was plated, but they were riveted on and I thought, "Why install this set if I get a new set later on and the mounting holes don't line up?"
