Replacing BMW Wheel Logos

The logos on my wheels were looking pretty ratty. They were faded and the lip of the logos were yellowed and chipped so I decided to buy some new ones off ebay. I was going to get the same ones, but I saw these and thought they looked better. How do you remove the original logo hubs? Does anyone have these particular hubs, and are you happy with them? They look just like smaller OEM logos glued on old hubs, but they were advertised as "new style" and "genuine BMW part" from the seller, and he has decent feedback.

Save the bother of taking the wheel off. A thin blade under the plastic lip of the centre cap will pop it out without marking anything.

Never seen so called 'new style' I just buy decent metal domed inserts and fit them in the existing plastic outers
 
Suction cup, eh? Hmm, I'm going to have to start looking around the house. Thanks for the suggestions.
 
Suction cup is a damn good idea. I used a blade as suggested above and didn't give a damn about the stickers I was taking off so hacked at them a bit. :evil: They pop out easier than expected actually.

That's the beauty of the board - always a better idea with so many minds onto something. They do come out real easy - actually you can usually get them out just with a finger nail and certainly no need to damage anything.

Now to go and find a small child with a bow and arrow and steel one of his arrows for next time... :evil:
