15 or 16" hub caps
Does anyone know if the 14" style hub caps are available in 15 or 16"? I'm exploring wheel ideas in 15 or 16" but want to keep a original look. Steel wheels in 5x112 66.6 bore are available in 15 and 16" sizes.

I decided this is probably not feasible, so I am canning this concept-too complicated.

The folks at mercedesmotoring often equipped their classics with 15" rims and the classic style late-W108-type hubcaps. I believe that, back in the day, MB would equip specialized vehicles, such as ambulances, with 15" rims.
If you feel particularly flush, you may want to try the Mercedes Classic Center to price the rims and hubcaps. At least you might be able to determine the part numbers for these components, in the event that selling both kidneys to buy these pieces seems a particularly unattractive proposition. |

I have seen 600 wheel covers but they start at 1K and up. I wonder if they could be 3D printed? Scan some 108/111 caps and upscale them. Probably just as expensive once done. Regarding the wheels-spare tires from certain models have steel wheels in the size and offset range that might work but they are hard to find.
