Center of Rims roundel sticker..

[jbimmer24]

Hi all,i have replica style 87 rims and i want to change the stickers to new one,i measured with tape measure and show like 2 1/2 inches which converts to 63.5mm but all i find is 65mm on ebay should i go with them??

so you're not buying the full caps, just 'stickers'? That seems odd to me.

yes,the stickers have small cracks in them and i can actually put my finger nail behind it and peel them off if i wanted..so ones that look new would nice.

it doesnt matter if you measure it. it is 65mm. Take the center cap out and check. Stickers wont do you good. Buy the whole cap set.. I bought a set for $7 - seller is in China. Took 1 week for it me to recieved it. Perfect fit and same quality as what the dealers sell for $80 a set. see link

Sure bro. I made that mistake buying a sticker before for $3 in ebay. Looks crappy with the break dust, dirt and road grease cause Im nitpicky about cleaning my rims and roundels when it gets dirty. Car wash, and wiping them regularly with rags makes the caps look "older". I prefer "new shiny" looking BMW wheel caps.
When I got these new center caps, you know that it came with those peel off clear plastic covers- now what I did was, I took those plastic covers off cause they have bubbles in the middle and stuff, I cut a saran wrap in circle size half an inch bigger than the caps and stretched coverered each caps with it. Guess what, every time it gets dirty, I wipe it with a rag and its gets so CLEAN, it looks so "shiny" brand new! its been 4 months now since I had it. Wheel caps that looks new, with my own version of clear bra. LOL

I bought new wheel caps (latest style) from ECS Tuning. It made my wheels look so much better -- the previous OEM wheel caps had oxidized on the edges.

No, I don't work for ECS Tuning
