Well after having the alloys refurbed on the jalopy, I thought I'd treat it to some new wheel centres. Funnily the old original ones are in really good nick, not bad for 12 years old. Here are my new ones...

Oi ! I got those, they are quality

Pulled up at a petrol station one time and a guy remarked "your caps are going to fall off" as they were still spinning as i'd stopped

Had to explain the function.

Actually spinning good idea. The fixed seem to dis-colour, possible heat transfer from wheel. So any separation good.

Do they light up as well?

Only joking. Look forward to seeing them in situ.

Shme they dont fit the front hubs!
I have 2 on the Z4 and 2 on the X5 - confuses most people!

Not needed in winter, as you can simply modify the wheels.

Fit my 326M's fine, the ones I got are the 65mm, I know there is a smaller size also 56mm: https://www.marshall.co.uk/bmw/service/ ... -hub-caps/

They "Fit" my 108s as far as the diameter is concerned.
they don't fit depth wise as the si hub (w
ith large discs) retention nut and stub axle protrude too far.

These spinning centre caps? Are they safe?
Surely the massive gyroscopic forces must upset the steering input?

I’ll probably get banned for this….

I quite like those

Reminds me of those under car neon lights that they had in Max Power, back in the day
