Can anyone tell me what size wheel cap i need for these? they seem to have a smaller recess so i cant be sure which measuremnt to use.

Id quite like the Alpina type cap, but nobody seems to do a retro fit version in plain black.

Cheers

oh i had a pain with this too. theres a guy on bimmerforums in the states might still have a set of new ones. he had a few sets espcially made ages ago from an original mim center!
you gotta be rich tho, he wanted over $40 each (if i remember correctly) for them as thats how much they cost to make the limited run.

in the end i got some black perspex and a hole cutter. and bought some deceptacon stickers off ebay. then glue gunned them in from the back side.

If their proper MiM 1900 jobbies then the caps are 60mm

Hi,

What alpina centres do you mean?

I couldn't find any centres for my BBS Mahles. So I used 2 caps from rattle cans for the rears, a blue one and a grey one
I saw a set of metal centre caps on eBay.de a few months back for around €250. I've seen sets of Mahles go for that money. The plastic ones you can buy for around €80 the 4.
