BBS Centre Caps

Recommended Posts

If you're not in a rush, I can get them brought here for free early December, saves you the shipping at least.

If it's for rs there is a way you can use the stickers that look like caps from Ali express few $ each lol. That's what I noticed BMW did with their emblem on bbs rs they are stuck to a rubber mounting on inside of hex cap to offset it could be done with other types of bbs psossibly.

have tried using the original BMW caps with 68mm outside diameter which is okay its supposed to be 70mm but cant really tell the difference. But the inside clip is 65mm on the BMW caps so doesnt fit inside the 64mm hole of the wheels..

bit annoying really.. genuine ones so expensive and exchange rate doesnt help

I used these in silver. There were already rubber rings/spacers in my hex nuts then just stuck these on top they are lighter than the heavy bbs ones and cheaper to replace, then you don't have to worry about 64mm inside fitment. Not sure it will work on the wheels you are talking about with a home made spacer with glue though. Kind of seems budget but thats how the genuine BMW emblems were fitted before I replaced them with bbs so didn't even look into getting genuine caps

it is a big hole. I cant find any type of centre cap to fit at all so nothing to put the stickers on to..

It dawned on me today that you're probably looking for the same reason I am.

From reading various links, the 70/64 C type is the right deal, but there are some other options that amount to the same thing.

Post #17 here has some alternative ideas. I'm going to grab a single one of the Mitsubishi caps to try, if that works, I'll grab 3 more.

Offer stands on free shipping from the US at least.

^ this will work for you since you are looking for the inner part to suit the BBS RC without the cover plate thing.

 

I know I need 70/64 type C but they are bloody expensive.

I might work something out DIY.. you can imagine the look on the missus' face when I asked if I can buy 4x plastic bits for $200nzd. me ::wub:  her: :angry:

I bet she wasn't impressed.

I've looked at that link before, didn't inspire confidence.

I've ordered four mitsubishi MN184312 to test. Found them for $27USD including shipping to here from Japan. Will let you know how it goes whenever they get here. :)

EDIT: Ordered mine from here: https://www.amayama.com/en/part/mitsubishi/mn184312

Urethane on the inside. Otherwise genuine is the way to go. You could try this guy to see if he has spares

I should have mentioned the stickers are solid & about 3mm thick mine are still holding up good after two years lol

Where'd you get stickers? I'd like to cover the BBS logo with a BMW logo when I get them.

There is usually more than one person selling & offering different colours. When I ordered I got 20 I think but used 2 sets in place of old BMW ones on a few sets of 15" basket weaves & also on rs
