Question Stainless 15 inch wheel covers.

Found a set of 4 all bright stainless, no paint, 15 inch wheel covers in near mint condition. Do you know on what models and years they were used on by Mercedes? Thank you.

What is the diameter of the wheel cover? Is it about 15.25"? If so, it's for a 14" wheel, and is extremely common. And desired.

Supposedly the real 16.25” diameter 15” version can be purchased from the classic center but aren’t cheap.

Yes they are 15.25" in overall diameter. I am not an expert on Mercedes so I don't understand how they are for 14" wheels. Would'nt they go over the 14" wheel and touch on the tire being 1.25" wider?

Wheels are not measured at the rim. They are measured where the tire rests inside the rim. So the rim of a 14" wheel is about 15.25".

In answer to your original question, these wheel covers will fit most/all Mercedes from 1963 - 198x. NOT 600s. NOT cars with 13" rims.

Thank you so much. I have them listed on ebay item # 114572365782 or search Vintage Mercedes OEM 15" Stainless Wheel Cover.
I had a question from a potential buyer as to what they fit. I will now correct the listing. Thanks again, I appreciate your help.
PS: Is my asking price $99.00 or best offer each out of line? They are near mint condition.

I think 99 obo is fine. Let them sit for a bit and then lower the price if no interest...
