Ok, it finally happened to us. Lost the RR simulator on our recent trip. Not sure if I'm going to keep the current set, but until I decide, does anyone have an extra factory rear simulator you are willing to part with. It's a 2017 MB Sunseeker.
I picked up a rear wheel simulator on ebay for $89. It fit perfectly, and has a better attachment ring of plastic that is much more rigid than the previous iteration

Maybe not from this source, but these bolt on simulators.
I’ve been looking at those stainless replacements as well. One of my rear caps literally fell off as I pulled up to the ranger booth at a State park after driving 160 miles at 70 mph. The funny thing is it fell off at 3 mph and I heard it roll along the ground , not on the highway . I did have 2 plastic zip ties on it that broke. On inspection the metal retaining spring broke from metal fatigue. I suspect all are ready to also fail. It’s either replace with cheaper ones or paint the rims and get cheap caps for the hubs. The Alcoa rims are nice but too pricey for me. The metal zip ties would probably hold it with the broken retainer but I don’t want to fight with getting them off for a flat.
Thanks Rich. I think I have found a set of originals near me that I plan to get. I hope the stainless ties will keep them on. A pair of snips will make short work of a flat.

Mike, How fo you like these Sprinter Simulator’s? These seem to make sense I just want to check with you how many miles you have on them and do you like them. Appreciate any feedback.
