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 Last edited by cooljess76; 03-02-2012 at 09:11 AM. | | | 03-02-2012, 01:38 PM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2010 Location: Potomac Falls VA DMV Posts: 1,794 | Quote: Originally Posted by rochey6957 lol why would you cover the roundel just for a bigger roundel | 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 __________________ Im guessing im the youngest member on here with a S52 power'ed Ti at 16 years old! | | | 03-02-2012, 08:10 PM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2010 Location: Riverside ,So-Cal Posts: 725 | Will they fit on the Style 19's ? __________________ EURO FRESH | | | 03-02-2012, 09:04 PM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2010 Location: Potomac Falls VA DMV Posts: 1,794 | Quote: Originally Posted by Ralliart10 Will they fit on the Style 19's ? | Yes __________________ Im guessing im the youngest member on here with a S52 power'ed Ti at 16 years old! | | | 03-03-2012, 01:07 AM | #9 | NOBODY F's with the Jesus Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Ventura California Posts: 7,824 | Quote: Originally Posted by slow_ti I'm pretty sure it's not that much bigger or if it's bigger at all. | Quote: Originally Posted by cooljess76 That roundel came from the same style 5 cap pictured above.

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. | | | 03-05-2012, 03:33 PM | #13 | Junior Member Join Date: Mar 2012 Location: Toronto Posts: 3 | 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? | | | 03-05-2012, 05:55 PM | #14 | NOBODY F's with the Jesus Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Ventura California Posts: 7,824 | Quote: Originally Posted by Magic20th How much for shipping to Canada?

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. | | | 03-05-2012, 08:07 PM | #15 | Junior Member Join Date: Mar 2012 Location: Toronto Posts: 3 | Alright I'm interested how thick are they? are they strong? could the be repolished down the road?.
