There's 3 different manufacturers of the original genuine BMW 15" cross spokes, BBS obviously but also ALU (the people who cast the M20 inlet manifolds and steering wheels etc) and FPS.

All 3 makes look almost identical from the outside but the area around the wheelbolts is different and the backs of the spokes are different, they're all the same weight.

All the e30 15" X spoke caps are the same type made by BBS.

The BMW part number for the complete cap in standard silver is 36132225376.

Cheers,
