Wheel Cap Swap

Does anybody know which aftermarket rims allow me to swap the BMW logo wheel cap? Same size? Are removable wheel caps universal in size?

No, wheelcaps / centercaps are not universal in size. Gotta find one that's the same as the BMW OE caps. Someone here's gotta know how large the wheel caps are (mm).

Doesn't matter what size the wheel is, the centercaps will be the same size even on a smaller/larger wheel.

Me thinks they are 64.5 mm. I was looking for some on EBAY for my winter wheel package.

Garage List
it basicly depends on the wheel. Some aftermarket wheels can take the BMW caps as a straight fit, others like Breytons will not. Its very manufacturer/wheel specific and basicly when you get a new wheel, you have to try and fit your oem cap into it to see if it fits. Also BMW themselves make several different size caps that you can try.

Worse case scenario that alot of people have done is to buy BMW logo stickers and affix them to the caps that come with the wheels, i've seen alot of wheels with this done and its hard to tell its a sticker and looks very pro.
