You mean the regular hubcaps with painted ring around the MB star? Those were not meant to fit over the bundts and I don't know that they would fit, they were intended for steel or alloy steel lookalike rims. If you are looking to get rid of the bundts, you will also need to change the lug bolts for the other rims. Bundt bolts are longer and hit into the brakes with other rim types. Bolts for steel or imitation rims are too short to get a safe thread with a bundt rim.
My 80 has the alloy lookalike steelies on it with hubcaps.
