Damb those wheels look great on that color! very nice.

Thats a good question nikki, Im not sure the bmw caps are the same size or if they make them. I think stickers may be your only bet!

I don't know if you know or care, but BBS Gold centers are reserved for their higher line forged wheels. I have RG-R's as well and originally wanted the BMW centers to fit, but got many compliments on the BBS Gold from BMWCCA members so now I'm OK with them

BTW, I wanted those wheels for track wheels! Good catch, you got to them a day before me

Hmm, how do I find out what size they are? I guess a ruler?

The boo-boo thread is here:

No, I didn't know that. I just think that the stock look is more of what I like. I'll post some pics from the autoX this weekend, these wheels/tires should make a nice difference!

Such a thrill to see my old wheels having such a good time. I actually bought them for a 1999 328i and was thrilled when they fir on my 2006 325i. That car is long gone now, but the wheels live on!

I sold them to ADHD.

I must say they look the best on your car.

Congrats!

P.S. More pics!!

PPS Keep the BBS caps! They're unique and verify that you don't have some BBS-imitation knock-offs.

if your BBS emblem is a 70mm one, it seems you can order some OEM BMW emblem to fit (part number 5114 2291 869)

take a look!
Hmm, are those the actual emblems or stickers? Do you think I can order those from anywhere in the US?

The BBS RGRs do have 70mm center caps and I found these stickers that I can put over the caps but I will need an extra 70mm cap so that i don't ruin mine. Anyone have some 70mm caps they would like to get rid of?

Here are the 70mm stickers:

BTW I found a photo of an M3 with the BMW roundels on the RGRs. I think it looks great!
