Nope, you can add one *more* person who thinks they are cool. You simply can't find those at ANY price in the USA. That is an absolute euro look. I'd always thought they were plastic wheel covers, all this time!! If they are not, my admiration of them went even higher yet! Park carefully, don't get curb rash on them...With the "taxi look" you are going to achieve taxi mileage, too, on the car.

I believe they were standard kit on the W126ers also....even the basic SEC coupes also, such as the 420SEC. I have seen pictures of them like that
