(4) 1983 240D Hubcaps (Came on W123 and W115)
I lost a hubcap this past friday, and immediately got on ebay and did a buy-it-now and purchased 4 hubcaps because I was so embarressed to be driving the car. I told the PO (I just bought it a couple weeks ago) and she said "You should have called me, we have 3 extras in the garage!" -- so now I have 7! I would love to sell the set of 4 that I just bought. I paid $75 including shipping. I'd really like to get my money back, not looking to make a profit. Anyone in need? They do NOT have painted centers.

Don't need any here but wanted to mention the only time I've even lost a hubcap is when I had less than 4 clips on a wheel. Using only 3 seems like it'd hold but if you've ever lost a 'cap, checking for and replacing any missing clips is cheap in comparison.
Not saying you can't still lose a cover with 4 - just my experience... GLWTS. |

The 3 I went and got from the PO all only had 3 clips... so I am betting the one I lost probably only had 3. I stole a clip from one of the extra to have 4, so the one I replaced now has 4 clips and seems to be very tight. I may order a few more clips. Thanks for the suggestion. I tried to get it on with 3 and it just wasn't working out. Used a rubber mallet to help get it tight.

I actually haven't received them yet -- they are on the way. I will take photos as soon as I get them.

FYI there are two types of clips for the steel and light alloy wheels. That might be part of the issue.

The ones I got from the PO had metal clips -- I will also be sure to take a photo of the back of these that shows the clips when they get in.
