Is this something that is currently available?


I can get them produced but if they're already been done then i wont pursue it further.

Can be sized to fit any wheel cap, any colour (bodywork colour etc), any wording. Basically anything is possible.

Any interest?

And before you ask, i haven't looked into costs yet but an confirm net week!

So how much are you charging per set of 4?

And what sort of designs are you thinking?ie,scanning customers own images/drawing/photo or just run of the mill text style?

Anything is possible - photo's of your car if you want! If you just have an idea then we can make up a design for you.

These will be stickers only to fit into the recess of the wheel centre cap. I can make them any diameter too to fit into other wheel badge centres.

E30 Zone versions would be possible, what logo would you want used?

Will confirm costs on Tuesday when i'm back @ work.

Not much, I had two "Number Plates" made for a tenner!


So four little stickers would be about a fiver if that!

Righto, spoke to the designer and confirmed a price - £20 for 4. This is for 60mm (roughly) badges to fit standard BMW BBS wheels.

This may be higher than buying standard badges but bear in mind these are completely custom badges, any design you want.

Am working on some example designs, including yours Taylor.

Also i noticed some difference with BMW BBS wheels, some have centre caps with the BMW badge sitting on 'top' of the wheel centre and one type with the badge 'inside' the centre, in a recess. These stickers are best suited to wheel centres with the recess so they cannnot peel away (difficult anyway) or the water etc. can't get underneath them.

Best i can do, we're suited to making 100/1000's of labels, not just 4, so the costs will be higher.

Might be able to lower to £15 once i get going.

i want one with my ugly mug all over it!

joke, i think the bmw badges are the best suited tbh,

variations like the red instead of blue on the badge look good too,

a zone badge i think will be ott, the stickers the best :)

hmm trying hard to think what would look good for a badge centra and avoid looking council
