Ive got some ronal wheels on my motor at the moment

http://www.ronalwheels.co.uk >Wheels >Classic range >LS


And i love them, although im thinking about changing the center caps.I love the look of the BBS ones,and.....before anyone says anything, i know i havnt got BBS wheels!! But if anyones got the latest Total BMW, go to the back page, those wheels are basically Ronal LS's, that cap looks a lot nicer than the cheap one ive got in.

Does anyone know where you can get new/used BBS center caps? Ive seen some come up on ebay a few times, but not that often.

A set of the ones with Gold lettering would be nice. I think they fit straight in as well, ill check sizes of mine tomorow, but ive seen others do it.


And dont flame me, i know my wheels are BBS ones, but who would know? :P

SwirlyE30,

I was walking the dog the other day when I saw a lovely white E30 with really nice wheels - turns out it was yours - I live just around the corner from you 8O

How bizarre :D

Nice car....where did you buy your wheels from, I want a set for mine 8)

Willow.
Save the E30s!

lo mate! Oh right, where abouts do you live? Cheers, i try to keep it clean, with these wheels if you dont clean them like twice a week they look so dull.Then once youve shined them up their the daddies.

I bought my wheels from these boys http://www.raceandroad.com/

Their one of few offical dealers of Ronal wheels in the UK, and they were 575 with 4 tyres fitted, balanced etc.I think it works out like 90 quid a wheel or somthing mate.







Edit-


Does anyone know what BBS center caps, or new centercaps are like?I ask as i poped my centers out of my center piece of one wheel today and it looks like the center badge is a one piece in which it has 4 prongs that let it pop and hold into place. Thing is, are new centercaps just a replcement 'disc' shape, or are they the whole unit? Im not sure if i can seperate what seems to be the rear or the center from the actual badge part.Anyone care to shed some light on that?

Talk to Chris dude. He'll know the score!

I know the centre bit that you speak of...

Image

You're talking about part No. 4 (with the prongs) but what you want is actually part No. 5 - this 'peels' off the prong section, though it's pretty difficult if it's a new sticker...

Anyway, speak to Cuk, he'll sort you out dude.

Yeh, someone else, Davetouring i think, said you could get them real cheap from the dealers.Thing is, im not wanting BMW ones, im after some BBS ones, or similar. Hopefully CUK can maybe sort me out with somthing, if not BBS it is! (Pricey!!)
