Default has anyone replaced their center caps on an NA?

I had read the thread about replacing the center caps on the SRT style wheels and a person had mentioned they didn't fit on his NA. I'm curious now, has anyone found any type of replacement cap for the NA wheels?

Anyone know the dimensions of the NA center cap?

Thanks

Check my gallery, I bought chrome caps from a vendor on Ebay.(AAI Inc.)
They look nice, IMHO and fit perfectly.
Diameter is just a hair over 6"....like 6.125.
Peace

Member MI1XFIRE bought chrome bolts for his and runs without the center caps at all.

When I first heard about it I wasn't too sure......after seeing it, it looks great!

Here's a pic (shamelessly stolen from his gallery of Woodward 2008 (p.s. that's me parked right next to him))

I guess I'm confussed on what your looking for in a center cap.

Yes what I have is a chrome aftermarket center cap that's installed on my Limited Coupe's stock wheels. The pictures are in my gallery.
Again not sure then what you'all are looking for.

Peace
Paul

I'm looking for stock MB center caps to replace my Chrysler ones. There has been way to many topics on it. It has been done with the SRT but haven't seen any success with the Limited stock wheels (Coupe).

I really want to take my center caps off, but my rear wheels are missing the dust shields. Is there anything I can use to cover up the holes?

Send a PM to Mi1xfire. I'm not exactly sure of the part numbers, but I'm pretty sure they were Mercedes caps that he has on there. They look much better in person.

I haven't found a Mercedes center cap or any other one that I liked that is a direct fit for the NA wheels. I'm currently using Lexus caps from the previous generation ES. Those are not a direct replacement, I had to grind them down to fit. IMO the time spend looking and fitting them was well worth the effort but I understand some may disagree and not like the look.....
If you want a direct fit, you will need to find something in the 57-58 mm range. All the Mercedes ones were 60 or 62 mm.
Let me know if you find a nice direct fit

The center wheel cap that hides the lugnuts are different for our cars. The Base and Limited part is A1934000025 and the SRT-6 is A1934000125. Squirrel Crusher

Yes, I know this. N/A's are different as there are options for the SRT available that will fit, but NOT ours.

What if we used 4 MB factory hood badges in our existing center caps. I wonder the diameter?.. I'd prolly go for the blue branches ones. Anyone else?would be pretty darn expensive though for 4 badges.
