[Enquiry] BMW 206M Wheel changing wheel caps

eddykai · 11-01-2009, 07:21 AM

Firstly, I must say sorry that I needa capture mtechnik3's photo as I'm using the same wheel with him!

Recently I have changed the wheel cap sticker due to depreciation, but just a minute before, I find that some brothers in this forum has changed his to a CF one which can't be found in HK!

Therefore I'd like to ask where should I buy and what the size should be.

I have found some in ebay, but there are different size, therefore, may I ask if anyone know the right size of my wheel for the wheel cap? Is mine using this kind of "cap" or ???

Please help me!!

regardless of what the wheel type is.... that doesnt really matter.... you can search around, they have them everywhere... what type are you looking for just normal cf? im not sure if they make them yet like your oem roundels (with the chrome ring instead of the plastic ring... but you should be able to pick up a set almost anywhere. they have the 7pc sets also... hood, trunk, steering wheel and rims....

if you need any more info just shoot me a pm

Don't the ones on the ebay link you quoted fit? Do the 260s have larger roundels then?
I did point out it is 260 so that he changes his thread title, it will make it easier for people that actually own them to respond, didn't mean to be an @ss buddy.

Thanks all my buddies~~~

I get a typo error~~ thanks for your reminding

Meanwhile it is really doubt that how to check if the wheel cap from ebay is right for me!

eddykai · 11-01-2009, 01:23 PM

Oh My Godness, one seller in ebay replied my email. It think his is true

He got a M3 also which equipped with the 260M wheel, but unluckily the size here for this wheel is special that it is not suitable with their wheel cap, meanwhile he told me that even the BMW didn't get a OEM wheel cap for replacement too... My god ~.~

Bad news man cos i have the same wheels too....

eddykai · 11-01-2009, 11:03 PM

ya Yannisv

He said it's a little bit different but we can mod it on our own risk...
But I do think that it would be easily coming out when driving~

Therefore I'd better keep my current one first, may be I find one in HK, let me pm you for update!
