1974 280C rim size 14". Would like to upgrade to 15"
 
I would like to upgrade my rim size to 15" but I would also like to upgrade my hubcaps.
My question is are there hubcaps out there that are the stock design in a 15" size.
In other words I want to go one inch bigger in rim and hubcap size while still keeping the stock 1976 280C look.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah but I think that they go on a grand 600 which means that they will cost you a pretty penny.

Really? For the 15" steel rims or the 15" hubcaps? If they exist can they be had at a junkyard and what models carried the 15s?

15 inch steel wheels can be found as they were on some later euro models, but the hub caps would be the flat plastic type that you see on modern cars. The hub caps that would look period are pretty expensive from my understanding.

It's doubtful that you would find them in junk yards, but I have known people to score 15 inch bundts at junk yards which are also rare and expensive.

I see.....I don't want the plastic. As you can see from my sig. pic. I have the steel caps which I polished. That's the look I would like to keep. Where would I find a 15" hubcap, adsit, benzbin or....?

There you go ebay 15 inch hub caps

Not as expensive as I thought really.
