so the 75mm outside diameter 72mm inside diameter fit with maybe slight modification. Is this correct?

ie these ones

Anyone wanting Mercedes caps for their car should go to the SLK forum and ask if anyone there wants to swap their caps for your Chrysler ones or sell a set to you. I am sure that you will get many responses, none good. At least you will see what they write, similar thoughts would be on the minds of Mercedes owners who see them on your car. They laugh at non AMG Mercedes owners who stick AMG badges on their cars.

Where do you draw the line between cosmetic upgrades and poser? I know where I do.

When I purchased my SRT the previous owners father threw the original center caps away during a garage clearout hence I now have empty spaces where caps should be.

As you are probably aware there are no Chrysler or SRT center caps available and replacement ones are like rocking horse s*#t to find. Also in regards to what anyone else thinks I couldn't give a flying f%#k!
MY CAR NOBODY ELSES.

I have my opinion and you have yours, no worry there. I also have a complete spare set of SRT caps, so no worries there either.
I was born in the Middlesex hospital (Edmonton?), way back in time. Raised in Wood Green and Bounds Green.

My point is whatever you may think our cars be it NA or SRT are of Benz origin and for me to put AMG (NOT MERCEDES) emblems on my wheels causes me to ask you whats the problem???? My car is powered by AMG isn't it? I also have a NA which I have owned since 2006 and a 1972 350SL so really not trying to be a wannabe Merc owner. I AM ONE.

JUST LOVE MY CROSSFIRES! Whats your problem?

Apart from the engine and all the the other 1000 engine parts, but that wasn't me that was MERCEDES.

I am in the same place as Stevie. I was searching all over the net and in these forums for some nice center caps for my SRT6 rims and was not finding ANYTHING but the crap looking crossfire dinner plate centers. For the life of me I wasn't finding a single crossfire emblem that wasnt garbage or a sticker. All the real nice center caps for these rims are the AMG and Mercedes ones. So until a nice center cap that has a kick *** srt6 or crossfire logo on it pops up that fits then it is what it is.

My problem is that I took you of my ignore list, that is easily fixed.
You appear to have a chip on your shoulder and take everything as an insult.
I am not impressed what other cars you drive you surely are though.
Bye.
