Ok new project
I was thinking of dropping 15 inch on my little cuore,
Did some research and wanted TOM’s racing rims.
Super expensive and hard to find in Holland
So thought ill make them myself, first some 15 inch rims.
What will fit on my car, so past a junkyard to try on some rims that will work for my project.
Opel Astra G rims are good and fit nicely.
15 inch 4x100 ET 49
But of course it wasn’t what i’m looking for.
So i bought Mercedes hubcaps…yes hubcaps.
But didn’t need the star, so it had to disappear.
The only option was to cut them out …
Looking good.
Thats the look i’m going for.
From the front
Now all white and a few stickers.
Ok not all white
Hubcaps are still a work in progress
But you get the idea.

Honsetly it makes me want to do something similar with my 13’ stockies. They are full of tread but the cheap hub caps are terrible

That’s look neat!
Make the billet of the habcaps in black so it’ll look like floating at the centre

Was thinking about that, but then the turbofan look is gone.

What were those wheels on the before pic? Remind me of Borbet A but without the center cap section…
The rims are KBS rims.
Do not now the model and where its made.

These. Are. Awesome.
This is what it’s all about. Creative ideas with a beautiful result. Could you tell me which exact merc hubcaps you used? Seriously thinking of trying this on my L275
The hubcaps are from the w124 mercedes, with the silver side, you can also try the w201.
