    BBS Center Caps for Style 42?

    Hey guys,

    Just got my rims mounted and now just need the center caps to really set the rims off. I do like how the original BMW center caps look, but this time around I would LOVE to fit some BBS caps on, regardless if they're replica's or not. did some research and the OE BMW center caps are the 70mm variety, so I assumed that I should just order the 70mm BBS caps, but I guess that there are three(3) different cap types and that fitment is not perfect. Can anyone please confirm, or better yet tell me what caps I need to get?

    Rims are brand new 18x9" OE BMW Style 42's aka BBS RS745. Stupid rare. I supposedly got one of the last few *new* sets available in the world.

    replica stickers do the job. Did it on mine in carbon and it looks good. Much better than the BMW roundels. If you want to see a picture let me know. Email is info@wokke.de

    Ahhh Wokke to the rescue!

    Replica stickers as in, I put them over my BMW wheel caps? Please post pictures here if you can, and happen to have any I buy from you?

    I peeled off the BMW logo sticker and glued on the BBS fakes. You find them on the bay. I'm currently out of these. I barely need them since I rather go for the originals

    The OEM center caps are 70mm right? Or were they 68mm?

    OEM BBS Style 42 so I guess BBS RS? The rims are indeed labeled RS745

    BBS RS are these and the BBS logo badge has an outside diameter of 70mm.
    I'd need to check if they fit the Style 42s. A complete set of those original BBS logo badges is US$89,- plus US$19,- for shipping.

    Please do check if they fit Style 42's! (Especially the 18" ones if you can!) I would really appreciate it, plus I'd buy the caps from you if they real 70mm sizes fit!
