If you bore the centers out to the Mercedes spec of 66.6mm (2.622 inches),
then you could probably use any number of Mercedes caps. Some Mercedes rims
look like they have a bit of a lip inside the bore to hold a cap with
click-fit arms around the perimeter, but there may be some press fit caps as
well?
