220D ambulance looking for hubcaps

My ambulance has 15" rims and I need the hubcaps to fit them. The rims have the mercedes part# starting with 115 so they must be original. All I have found are the 14" so I was wondering if anyone can help.
Thanks in advance, Liz

You don't need those old 15" wheels now do you?
I could trade for some steel 14" wheels and find you wheel covers to fit.
What color is the ambulance? (Pictures please!)

I think I might have a lead on some 15 inch hubcaps. I will ask a buddy who has a bunch of them if he has any 15".

What color do you need or are you going to repaint them?

hubcaps

The ambulance is white but color is not that important. I did buy some 14" wheels but they look small. So I am still looking for the 15" hubcaps.
Thanks

Well, I guess they look smaller because they are, but the tires will have to be sized to keep approx. the same OD unless you can tolerate some speedometer error

Just a hint, too. I SUGGEST USING THE "BUMP" FEATURE BY UPDATING ONE POST INSTEAD OF CONTINUING TO POST THE SAME MESSAGE OVER AND OVER. I COUNTED 5 POSTS ON THIS SUBJECT in under a week:

If you give up and run the 14" wheels I would be interested in the 15" steelies.

This is completely off track from your search for rims but the thought of a 220D AMBULANCE is kinda depressing!

Maybe a hearse but not an ambulance. None of my 220D's ever impressed me with their, ahem, accelleration and I couldn't imagine them with the added weight of the ambulance body and equipment.

I could just imagine the driver checking his map to find the closest hospital downhill!
