    All of the center caps are missing. I'd like to replace them but I don't know who made them.

    Pull a wheel off. The manufacturers usually stamp identifying numbers on either the inside lip of the wheel (where you'd pound a weight on), the inside of the drum, the back side of the spokes, or the inside face of the hub. Locations vary depending on manufacturer and wheel material (steel or alloy, etc)
    Should have the manufacturer's name, and the model # of the wheels. A quick google search should give you the info you need to source replacement center caps.

    Thanks for the reply but I couldn't find any markings at all.

    Hm. That's not a good sign...
    Could mean that the wheels are stamped between the lips (where you can't see them unless you pull a tire off)
    Urk.

    They look like aluminum? Either painted or with a matte finish?

    They're definitely aluminum. Machine finished, I think.

    They don't look the same, the OP pic has 6 holes while the MB wheel link only has 5

    @baflleje1: Looks like the wheel comes with generic can-shaped center caps, which you can buy at most auto parts stores. No need to order from MB.

    Definitely not true there. Each manufacturer may do things differently in how they attach to the wheel ... push-thru, snap-on, etc. Is the center bore different that it requires something unique, and so on. Why waste money on something that will fit poorly, only to lose them soon after because you took the cheap route.

    Best bet is to try contacting MB directly (email only) or their retail end @ Discount Tire. See if they can provide the center cap number for that wheel since it is a discontinued model. Take that number and check http://www.centercapsdirect.com/MB-Motoring-Wheels_bymfg_830-0-1.html here. I have tracked down countless caps here over the past few years.
