Subject:Re: 16x7" MB CLK Alloys W/ No Drilling from Tire Rack $88/each!! What Model?

The late ones, the 16 x 7s don't have  the bumps to hold on a dog dish
hubcap.  I guess you'd have to go with full wheel covers or just nothing.

I'm thinking of painting one set silver/clear - they might look great just
like that.
