Can standard hubcaps fit on aluminum wheels (83 240D)?
I know the chrome hubcaps with the colored section inside and the mercedes star generally come with steel tires, but I already have the aluminum one's---can I buy these hubcaps and put them directly on the aluminum tires?

Carrameow,
Absolutely not. Hubcaps fit at the end of the spindle and are much too small to fit on an aluminum tire. P E H |

You most definitely can use the stamped hubcaps on the aluminum plain black painted wheel. Mercedes were delivered with plain steel wheels on earlier models. Aluminum wheels were made for 240D's. I'm not talking about the "Bundt Cake" wheel. Mercedes used nylon covered clips on the stamped hubcaps destined for plain black paintedaluminum wheels so as not to scratch the aluminum.
