FOR SALE Center caps for AMG 3 pc OZ wheels

[bryanjchen]

Up for sale is a set of 4 center caps from the AMG 3 pc BBS OZ wheels for sale. Set came off of my wheel set which was sold along with my E500. These are the original “Blank” caps which have the part number M242 as can be seen in the attached pics. Parts were painted silver when wheels refinished but may have some discoloration and scuff marks from sitting in storage for a long time. Caps not used since refinished but could use a respray.

I am asking USD 250 for the set plus PP fees and shipping. Parts will be shipped from Taiwan and shouldn’t cost too much as the parts are quite light.

These center caps are very rare and NLA from AMG, so if you have a set of these iconic 3pc wheels, don’t miss out on this opportunity to switch out the MB center caps and replace them with the original look or just keep a spare set on hand.

Those center caps are only for the very early iterations of the 3 pc OZ Racing wheels. The majority of these wheels were made to use the standard MB center caps. The caps FS are 2-3 mm smaller in diameter than the standard 75mm caps.

Correction, 3 pc OZ wheels not BBS.

Thanks @AMG5PT4!
I wasn't aware of the various sizes on these center caps, and after some research on the internet I came across an old discussion on BW:

AMG / OZ wheel center caps

I'm still partly confused about what-fits-what, but someone better check it out before throwing $250 into a set of "plastic rondellums".

@500AMM I have never seen the OZ Racing center caps stamped M242 in small font with the metal Spring clip shown in your post! Are these blank on the faces? What is the outside diameter? After 15 years of gathering AMG info, I see something new to me.

AMG was famous for constantly changing and updating their parts for W126 and W124 chassis cars from the early 80’s through the early 90’s. Great examples are front bumpers and bumper spoilers - many variants exist for Gen I and II chassis.

Sorry my mistake, those with springs appears to be AC Schnitzer caps, found the images here:

M242 genuine Ac schnitzer Type 1 , Type 2 plastic caps.Set of 4

For sale !! M242 genuine Ac schnitzer Type 1 , Type 2 and type 3 plastic caps.75mm outside diameter. Caps n used condition , review pictures before you buy it. AS IS sale no returns.

But their images are a bit confusing showing the backside on several types of M242, including the OZ caps. Which to my understanding means that the M242 has various types & sizes dependent on the wheel brand, but please correct me if I'm wrong now.
