Not sure if it was lost or stolen but it is gone anyway.

2005 Hymer Starline B680 on a Mercedes Sprinter base 4.6 tonne with twin rear wheels, it's the rear one gone missing. Here's a photo of the remaining one, anyone know where we can find a replacement?

Thanks
Ros

I'm on twin wheeler as well and had problems finding suitable dished wheel trims. Some have alloys on front same trim or different trim. I ended up using cheep flat trims on back and kept 3 dishes trims for front.

Just see if inside trim has part number and Google that. It may not be a genuine Merc part.

Brownhills might have one, won't be cheap.
Or you could consider Euro liners trims, really difficult to obtain currently but really nice trims.

Thanks everybody

Had a friend check on Mercedes, no luck yet.

Ebay has a lot but haven't found the same one or even close to it, will keep looking.

Yes have done that, the wheel centre cap is Mercedes, the trim number is not recognised anywhere.

Brownhills might have one, won't be cheap.

Brownhills confirmed these were original and supplied by Hymer, but are definately obsolete now with little chance of finding one. That the rear is a twin wheel means 2 different shaped trims front to rear although the original I have looks very similar except the dish.

I did manage to find Euroliner wheel trims, they now supply through another company. Let me know if need their outlet now and I'll find it and post it here. The trims they now have available are different designs front and rear, they don't look alike but are both from polished stainless steel.

My Sprinter base is 2005 with 15" wheels, the bulk of the Sprinter stuff I can find is for 16" which I believe is from 2006 onwards.

One of my front is somewhere on the M5, but I still have the two rear ones and one front if that would help.

That is really kind, but don't you want to try to match them? or have you already replaced them?

Here are photos of the rear with no trim and the remaining one with the centre cap removed, are they the same? Last photo is a front wheelwith the dish in the wheel rim dishing out.
