Sprinter wheel simulators

[Bassooner]

I had a rear tire replaced about a year ago and somewhere between Boise and Salt Lake, I lost the stainless steel simulator, likely because it was not replaced properly. At any rate, I cannot find anyone who has this part. I have checked with Thor, RV Autoparts, Dicor (last week they said they had six but today they have none??), Sprinter.com, and Amazon. Anyone have an idea as to where I might find one—new or used? I’d appreciate your thoughts.

This is a 2014 Mercedes Sprinter 3500 chassis (Siesta Sprinter).

We've lost 4 over 32000 miles. They are notorious for coming out. Used 3 stainless steel zip ties per tire, no problems since.

I ordered here. Set of four was best option. Have a better finish and grip system than original.. I also use the stainless steel zip ties. Not a loss since. I carry a small wire snip along with tire gage to remove rear simulators to check air pressure.

To remove or to seat the simulators use this tire tool.

They look great!

Thanks everyone. I found what I need at hubcap haven and will definitely try the ties.

Good luck!
