I found these at a junkyard around here, does anybody know who makes them?

I have one I found about 5 months ago. as I remember it, there is no name on them. really unusual as I have never seen them before.

I would go check mine for a name, but on a trip 700 miles from home.

Might be a good idea to pull them, some one might want them, or maybe to make a clock out of them like CHAD did to some 240D hub caps.

I bought one for the hell of hanging it up in my garage, cost me 10 euros. There is no name on the back and no part number.

I would yank them, I have never seen them before and hubcaps from junkyards are cheap as can be. What were they on? Was it even an MB? Cool stuff!!

My car has those same rims. Thought they were a factory option or something?

I'll bet they are a knockoff from the 80's I've seen them before on scammer sales, etc. never in person seen one.

Ouch. I would hope not.

Do you mean the hubcaps or the bundt wheels? The metal wheels (not hubcaps) came standard on all the diesels of that era, both my SDs have Bundts.

That's surely one way to make swapping between Bundts and hubcaps much easier

Ok that makes sense. Mine are metal. Real rims, not hubcaps. Most of the old benzs running around in my area wear these.

These Bundt hub caps are plastic, not metal

I had a complete set I gave to chad to make clocks. They are quite rare. I do believe they were OEM

I saw brand new set on ebay about a month ago for $175......You can get a real Bundts for that price.....

I have seen them on W123's here in Ozz over the years. I was told by a car dealer that some second hand yards were getting them as an after market thing to make it look like they were selling a car with the real things (blunts).
