Are you sure?!
After a bit of time the metal backed stickers can near enough weld themselves solid to the black cap, get a screw driver and slowly prize it off!
Every centre cap on the BBS rims ive seen have been stickers and not the BMW logo built into the black cap!

Sorry let me explain in more detail

This it the All metal badge back!
Image

This is the Metal then plastic backed badge!
Image

When you put the all metal one in the centre it sinks by about 10mm
and looks crap!
Image

When you put the plastic one in it sits spot on
Image

I can use the metal one but it means i will have to fill the back with
filler to biuld it up! which the previous owner did, which in turn make it
near on in posible to get it out if i ever want to change them!
Image

Sorrt i am havin the wheels referbed and realy want them to be spot on
in know it sounds a bit picky but at the end of the day.... :mad:

Its all in the detail

Please help me find some of these little black things?

I'm taking them to a company that will sand blast all five for Ԛ£40 then i will spray them my self! used to work in a bodyshop my mate still does
so i can get the paint for nout!!! :D

Other than that i think there generally around Ԛ£30-50 a wheel!! Thers loads of them in the back of mags some come and pick up, some give
ya a spare set of wheels! theres meant to be a company around
Liecter way that will do them while you wait (About 3 hours) 8O :mad:

Cool, will have look for that company.

Try ECP or GSF, don't know if they'll sell genuine ones though.
