BBS RN centre caps

Recommended Posts

Happy new year everybody.

Finally, after a year of patiently waiting for me wife to OK the budget, I have been able to buy rubber for the BBS RN I have had sitting in the garage and put them on our E28 :-)

To finish the job off I need to fit centre caps. As is apparantly normal, all four stock BBS centre caps that came with the wheels have broken clips and are in various stages of edge delamination as one would expect from 90s vintage plastic. After doing a bit of research it appears I may have 4 options:

1) glue in the existing caps with something like urethane... after all the rest of the car is hardly perfect

2) buy BMW 70mm emblem stickers (PN 36136758569?), replace BBS logos, glue in

3) buy replacement new BBS 09.24.258 caps

4) buy new BMW caps that fit (not sure these exist, PN?)

I'd love opinions from the crowd on which option and whether I can get these in NZ or should order in from somewhere offshore please. Cheers.

For the sake of reporting back, I've started with option 2 above, buying BMW logo stickers and sticking them over the BBS caps. Seems to work brilliantly size wise. Will be interested to see how long they stay on.
