Wheel Cap Vinyl Stickers: Which Are the Best?

They were 65mm and a bit small, too, on the aftermarket caps.

PS: Almost all the Amazon aftermarket vendors are getting away with calling themselves "BMW" and often claim to sell OEM parts. Buy with caution: I'd buy originals.

Why not get the caps from amazon ? Why get the stickers ?

Mebbe so, but after my experience the QC was just too low to deal with.

I ordered some caps off of Amazon, should arrive in a week or two. I'll let you know their quality. They're not BMW though.

I got these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ilpage_o00_s00

Reviews are decent. All of them acknowledge they're not OEM, but are very close. They're domed instead of flat, but I don't really mind that. A smaller number said the build quality is shit, so I think it'll be a toss up of whether or not I get a good set. We'll see, I'll be sure to post here once I receive them.

I received my knock-off caps from Amazon yesterday from someone in Guongdong, China. They came in a padded envelope and were individually wrapped in plastic and then each had a thin plastic covering that you had to remove. There were some very minor superficial scratches on each one, but nothing you would notice unless you're under direct, bright light and about 5-6 inches away. The caps are plastic with a round metal sheet (the BMW logo) bent over the plastic circle. There is an ever so slight spherical/dome shape to the metal. It has "Italy" and the BMW logo stamped into the plastic portion on the back. While it the caps don't have a metal spring/ring to push out the plastic tabs that hold the cap into place in the wheel, they all fit securely into my APEX wheels and would not rotate.

Overall, the fit and finish is pretty darn good for ~$11. I'm impressed. They look and feel great.

A side note: if you have APEX wheels like me, you may struggle to get the APEX hub caps out without removing the wheels. I tried thin trim removal tools, screw drivers, you name it, but I didn't want to scratch the finish on the wheels so I ended up removing each wheel, popping out the hub caps, and putting in the new ones. A lot of work, but I think the new hub caps look great.
