I recently got the old style Mercedes rims for my Eurovan. I want to replace the Mercedes center cap with a VW center cap. Picture below when I was installing them.

I think I have figured it out to be 75mm. Unfortunately, I can't find any VW center caps that are 75mm. If I wind up finding some, I will post back so the information is out there.

I dont even really use Etsy but it's supposed to work, lol.

Found these... look promising? https://www.etsy.com/listing/1007966095/4pcs-vw-vo...JAQAvD_BwE

Or Ebay. Yes it ships from China, but I've actually has decent luck with that before, and it was pretty fast. You pick the size in the drop down menu. https://www.ebay.com/itm/4x-Wheel-Center-Hub-Caps-...632-2357-0

Or do a custom thing. Maybe just epoxy the smaller ones in. You could make a spacer ring out of aluminum with hole saws or something like that. It would look good if you do a nice job.
