Hey all

Saw these things on fleabay about a week ago.
Were selling about the £60 mark.
Appeared to be genuine BMW!

Sure they said something about only fitting genuine BMW wheels though, not reps or aftermarket ones.

You too can pretend your BMW is a Rolls-Royce :)

I don't think the OEM versions glow though...

Marketing Blurb wrote: The all new fixed hub cap creates a focal point on the wheel.
The typical BMW logo with its blue and white propeller no longer
turns with the wheel whilst the vehicle is in motion and instead
remains stationary.

The centre caps are available in 56mm and 65mm to accommodate
virtually all genuine BMW alloy wheel styles.

Please note that these are not suitable for steel wheels, use with snow chains
and will sit several millimetres further out than your standard alloy wheel centre cap.
