Title: SL Lightweight Wheels Help
Post by: LUVSL on June 15, 2014, 22:19:07

I have got a set of lightweight wheels for my 1971 SL.

The issue I have is I am trying to fit my hub caps to the wheels and they will not fit as they seem to be too small!!

Help.

Stephen

Hi Stephen -   Just to clarify, do you mean the aluminum wheels that look like steel wheels as shown in the lower portion of this link:

The hubcaps are the same but the hubcap clips are different.  The hubcap clips have a nylon pad on the area that fits against the wheel, presumably to not scratch the wheel.  The part number for the correct hubcap clip is A 123 400 00 27 and is available from MB for MSRP $7 each, on-line dealer price of about $5.23 each.   You need 16 of them.
