Wheel Center Cap Emblems Chipping??
 
Just noticed yesterday that the BMW emblems on my center caps are chipping off. These center caps came with the Eurotech wheels that I purchased last summer.

Is this common?? Anyone know if these caps are the same size as the OEM caps bc if they are I can take the ones from my girly wheels and put them on instead.

I had a problem when I ordered center caps from EAS and the ones they sent me had the OEM dimensions. Inner diameters of the OEM caps are a little bit bigger than replica caps. Also OEM caps have the lettering raised and a little more durable. Replica caps seem like they are just painted on there. I ended up getting a set from ebay.

If yours are replica, then they're common. Time to get the carbon fiber ones. They actually last longer because of the extra coatings. Mine has last 2 years and they're still like new. :thumbup:

If you want a set of OEM ones and don't mind used, I can sell you mine. They're sitting in my garage anyways.

Thanks for the offer, but I had on my mod list to change all the emblem colors anyways - now I have an excuse to do it!!:thumbup:
