Is there any site that people use for centre caps? (Other than ebay)
I've searched ebay/amazon and can't seem to find 75mm centre caps (with the BMW badge).
I did find blank 75mm caps, but I don't want to get stickers for them as they will look like crap in less than a day I'd say...
I bought centre caps off ebay about 2 years ago and have slightly yellowed in this time, I think the best way to go is to the dealer. Super 4 is looking at running a bulk buy interest of genuine bmw parts
I called BMW today to order seals for the M50 manifold, and asked about centre caps they said they needed a part number. Don't know what it would be for 75mm caps as they're not oem wheels. Will give Cab a shout though. Thanks!
OEM is the only way Peter ;)
Agree 100% :)Quote:

c3bmw.co.uk sell them - they're pretty reasonable
Got through to Rob in Frank Keane's and unfortunately they don't have it as there are no OEM 75mm caps.
c3bmw.co.uk don't have 75mm either.
Will wait for a reply from Cab, any other suggestions meanwhile?
Thanks :)

I see what you're saying about the stickers and why you'd like to avoid.
You could always buy the decals put them on and then maybe have them laminated. should stop peel and offer protection.
I might just have to resort to the blank caps and stickers after all. There are some coated with silicone. Might be the way to go... But then again, might look taki as f*ck. I'll just have to spend some money on em and see... :(
Had a quick look and found some AC-S ones,

The OEM ones are stickers - attached to a blank plate (on the E30 and E36 at least). They should look fine if they're decent quality. Heres my E30 ones before and after - with OEM stickers.

Excellent! They're as rare as hen's teeth (in 75mm form). The only thing is they're silver so might not suit the wheels... But it's certainly an option. Thanks for the links!! :)Quote:
