Question about after-market center wheel caps
Just curious.
Should center wheels caps on non OEM aftermarket wheels be changed to BMW center caps when put on a BMW in your opinion, or better to leave them aftermarket like VMR ect. |

Leave them aftermarket for the best fit. If you really don't like the look, cover them with BMW logo stickers you can buy from eBay.

it depends on the rims I guess. If they are oem reps, then I'd use bmw centre caps. but if i bought iForged rims or something, those centre caps aren't getting switched.

OEM cap gives it an OEM look.
Though a lot of the $$ wheels doesn't use the OEM sized caps, either you need to get their version or you can just use the aftermarket ones. Some rim companies make pretty nice caps, and those give the car a more custom look.

If I had nice rims then I'd leave the wheel manufaturer's centre cap on (like my neighbour with the $6000 BBS rims on his E63 AMG ), With cheap wheels like the Sports Editions I have for winter shoes I go with the BMW centre cap.

I bought new OEM center caps for my V710s, and I think it's a great look!

Looking at the center cap part number on realoem.com for that wheel and then searching it on ecstuning or fcpeuro would indicate it is a 68mm.
