Cheap Mercedes-Benz CLS Wheel Trims

The CLS is a premium coupé that was fitted exclusively with alloy wheels across all generations and trim levels — it never left the factory with plastic wheel trims. If you're seeing a trim ring or a plastic cover on a CLS wheel, it is likely an aftermarket addition or a protective cap rather than a genuine OEM wheel trim. What you almost certainly need is a used alloy wheel or a centre cap, both of which breakers regularly have available for the CLS.

There are two main generations: the first-gen CLS (C219) ran from 2004 to 2010, and the second-gen CLS (C218) ran from 2011 to 2018 with a facelift around 2014. Alloy wheel designs and fitment specs differ between the C219 and C218, so generation matters when sourcing used wheels. Within each generation there are also optional AMG and sport wheel upgrades, so confirm the exact spec with the breaker against your registration.

The C218 facelift in 2014 did not change the underlying wheel bolt pattern or hub size, so mechanically a pre-facelift wheel will generally fit a post-facelift car. However, the facelift introduced updated alloy designs, so a 2013 wheel may look noticeably different alongside your other wheels. Confirm offset, centre bore and any TPMS compatibility with the breaker before buying.

Trim level does not affect the hub, bolt pattern or offset — those are set by the generation. What does vary is wheel size and design, as AMG Line models typically carried larger diameter wheels than standard trim cars. A wheel from any trim will bolt on correctly, but expect a size or style difference; confirm the diameter and width match your existing setup when speaking to the breaker.

Engine size can be relevant because the larger-engined and AMG variants were sometimes fitted with bigger brakes, which in turn required larger diameter wheels to clear the callipers. A wheel from a smaller-engined CLS may not clear the brakes on a high-performance AMG variant, so this is worth checking. Always confirm the wheel diameter and that it clears your brake setup with the breaker against your specific registration.

Centre cap fitment is typically tied to the specific alloy wheel design rather than the car's generation, so a cap from a different CLS wheel may not clip correctly even if it looks similar. Caps from the C219 first-gen and C218 second-gen often differ in diameter and retention design. Give the breaker the part number stamped on your existing wheel or cap, or measure the cap diameter, to make sure you get the right fit.
