15" centre caps

it is e30 related.!

I was wondering would centre caps off 15" bbs e34 wheels would fit 15"bbs E30 alloys?

cheers peeps

Don't think so. Even the centre caps for E30 14" and 15" wheels can't be swopped. However, if you have a problem with the locks on your 15" wheel centre caps, you can dismantle a 14" centre cap and use the parts. 15" wheel centre caps are difficult to get hold of in good condition second hand.

as far as i am aware they wont fit
because the e34 ones are one piece plastic
and they just push onto the rim
and dont lock into place

When this was posted a week and a half ago, I'd already asked my brother in law to hang on to the centre caps of an E34 he had just disposed of.
Got my hands on them yesterday, and they are one piece plastic with a completely different fitting, in the form of a snap ring that locks into the centre hole in the E34 BBs.
Unfortunately the hole in the 15" E30 BBS is just a little bit too small for them to fit.
However, if you cut the plastic projection off the back, they do fit in place, but unfortunately, won't stay there, although, if you're desperate, you could stick them on with silicon rubber.

I think Sal was going to start stocking these in the Zone Shop if you dont have any joy with the ones you have.

I know he was thinking of stocking BBS wheels
