Bob Dieck ◊ 2012-08-01 21:03	andrepa, just a little remark on your comment. Hubcaps were always painted in body colour; what 250 S made different was the wheel itself, painted in body colour along with chrommed rims, one of which is missing in the rear wheel. When the hubcaps became integral, wheels return to black, as in previous W111.
andrepa ◊ 2012-08-01 21:15	thank you, for your helpful remarks, the missing chrom rim obviousely was a lucky chance to see the whole wheel is car colour. -- Last edit: 2012-08-01 21:17:57
