Hi

On a couple of my wheels the center caps/badges are corroding.
Ive researched on the web what the correct size is but am getting conflicting information - but pretty certain its the 68mm Diameter of cap type I need.

Any one confirm this?

And then - anyone bought anything of a good quality off ebay which is not the eye watering OEM price of almost 40 quid for a new set? If yes - mind sharing a link please?

Thanks
Jamie
 
Think the ones I got were 65mm on the inside where it clips in and the dome face itself was 68mm.
 
I fitted these ones at the weekend.

Fitted spot on and look good.

Hope the links work ok.

Given the price,no worries at all.

They were genuine about three years ago, the original style are even worse for corrosion.

Hi Graham - are you following me around :poke:

One of them looks a bit butchered like a screwdriver has been at it and another is corroding ever so slightly so I wanted to renew. The other two look perfect.

Not sure if the reps will be much different from the OEM sort. It's 10 quid for 1 OEM cap versus 12 for all 4 replicas

68mm seam to be the right diameter tho...

Still come on here occasionally, I know the mark you mean. Shocking BMW quality, the original type that had an inset badge were even worse. Reckon they last 2 years max and I never used acidic or aggressive alloy cleaner.

They look ok actually. I am thinking about leaving carbon badges behind and going back to OEM all round...
