Polished Style 5, Style 19 Hex Nut Covers

**cooljess76** · 03-02-2012, 01:27 AM

I have some polished BBS hex nut covers designed to fit over any OEM BBS wheel with a standard plastic 81mm hex nut. This includes style 5's, style 19's and many others. These will accept a slightly modified 71mm BBS logo center cap (common BBS RS size). The black/gold caps pictured have been modified just as you would if you were installing them on style 5's or style 19's (tabs grinded flush) and they are not included.

SOLD!!! Sorry if you missed out...

Make your wheels unique! Not sure if they'll fit? Use a ruler and measure the distance across your hex nut. If it's 80.8(81mm) these will fit.

Could you put a BMW emblem in there?

That roundel came from the same style 5 cap pictured above. The metal hex nut covers I'm selling have a 71mm emblem cutout. Same size as the stock style 5 roundel, same size as the BBS RS logo center caps. The polished hex nut covers give the OEM wheels a classic look. Here's a comparison:

OEM BBS RC090(Style 5's)

BBS RS212's

Lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm pretty sure it's not that much bigger or if it's bigger at all. It would look good with my mirror polished lips... Maybe you could put them on your stock wheels. That would look sick

Hahah Jess... I was being sarcastic.. I know they wouldn't fit. I thought you'd know my humor by now!!

just a random (stupid cowdunk) question...
how do these atatch to the wheel?
do they come in from behind the round opening and become secure when the lug-cover is attached to the wheel?
forgive my ignorance...i've never seen these wheels in person.

No worries Sean, actually there's a couple different ways you could attach them. They attach from the front side of the cap. These "cup" the plastic hex nut just like the BBS cap wrench. The factory plastic hex nut remains in place as it's permanently afixed to the cap itself. I recommend using either 3M Windo-Weld or DoW Beta-Seal windshield adhesive. They both come in caulking tubes. This is what I used to glue my door sills on and the BBS caps onto my other set of black style 5 caps. It was recommended to me by a bodyshop. In addition, if you're worried about them falling off, you can drill holes in the style 5 cap where the stock roundel would normally go, then use safety wire or zip ties to secure them. The polished hex nuts have 4 holes with tabs that can be used to attach safety wire to. Personally I recommend using the adhesive first or perhaps a combination of both methods. Installation is up to the buyer, I can only offer suggestions. Once my wheels are finished, I'll post pics of how I secured mine.

How much for shipping to Canada? Toronto area. Also are these real BBS Hex's or just something made up to fit over the OEM cap?

I'll do it for $110 shipped/insured, however insuring it may result in higher duties? These aren't made by BBS. Unfortunately BBS never made anything like this available for OEM wheels. They're purely cosmetic and offer the BMW enthusiast an opportunity to make their OEM BBS wheels look unique and stand out among the others.
