Re: 23rd series Deluxe super 8 wheel covers

Try the following process:
1. Start with the parts book in Group 19 and determine from your car's model number whether a 19.041 trim ring is used.
2. Review photos from the Model Information section for the 23rd series and your cars model number.
3. Review photos from the Photo Archive section for the 23rd series ( during the first pass I would stick with factory photos only ).
4. Finally review the photos in both the Photo Archive and Owner Registry.
If the wheel is broken down into two distinct parts, namely the (1) hub and (2) rim, then the various cover covers maybe categorized as:
SMALL - Only center section of the hub is covered
LARGE - The entire hub is essentially covered
TRIM RING - Covers the outer most area of the rim
I believe the higher the trim level of the car, the less the wheel was visible. 'Full Wheel Covers' were not used in the 23rd series. Wheels appear to be body color, but I'll assume the dealer would accommodate 'special requests'. Wire wheels were a few years in the future, again I'll assume a dealer would accommodate an 'upgrade' request from a customer.
