Hubcaps replacement

Post by baggydew »

Does anyone knows where to get replacement hubcaps for the 94 model? I see them at several aftermarket sites but the are 16 inch hubcaps. My wheels are 15 inch.

I didn't know 15" wheels were even available for the B190s. Interesting!

I got mine off eBay, and they were obviously replications, not OEM (and looked a little funny when you got close, but from a distance they were fine). However those were for the 16" wheels.

I was sorely mistaken...it was after a trip and dusk when I looked at the sidewall. They are in fact 16 inch tires. I ordered a replacement hubcap this morning. Seems there are plenty of sites selling them. OEM used and replacement lookalikes. Lucky us. Thought it would be more trouble finding them. Thanks for your prompt reply. :D

That makes more sense - I was wondering about the 8-lug 15" wheels on a full ton van. I also browsed through the pictures in the Gallery quickly to see if I could spot another one with 15" wheels. :)

I found a single hubcap for my 94 Camper at hubcapkingdom through EBay for 24.95. the site is out of Tulsa. They have full sets for $69.95. These look exactly like my originals and are new....with the 3 inch protruding hub center, 8 lug configuration, 24 slot. I first tried the website ineedahubcap but they sent the wrong one and even though I paid for a used one in excellent condition it was far less than excellent. I returned it and was credited the price but had to pay return shipping. Problem solved for me, thanks everyone. :D
