    Larger bottle caps?

    I guess I'm a retard or something, but I like bottle caps, except the 14" diameter. So easy question, does anyone know of a 15 or 16" bottle cap?

              Those black bottlecaps are the shiiiiit. Who has them? How much? Do they come in 16? I love bottlecaps. The style is great. They just look too undersized for the car. Now if a wheel manufacture would make those deep dish in 15, 16, and 17 inch sizes. They would make a mint. My dream size would be 16x9, et15 and 16x7, et 20.

              225/45/16 on the 9 inch.
              215/40/16 on the 7 inch.

              A little bit of a rake (the rear being 1 to 2 inch higher then the front). That would complete my E30 look.

              Any info on where to buy those black deep dish bottlecaps, please do share. Thanks.

                  OR make them like these guys...

                  Tires, Wheels, & Brakes - BMW Rims for MINI - Which BMW rims will fit MINI? It seems like most that I've seen have 5 lugs. Isn't Mini 4x100? When did BMW use 4x100? Which rims / make-model are a known fit? Anyone have pics? Thanks!

                        I found these pics here, and the current owner bought them as is, but he said they are bottle cap centers welded to 15" BMW rims. Beautiful.

                          how safe yould you say this 3 piece bolted bottlecaps are? i mean for street use, no tracking of course.

                          what about the welded ones?

                            ^^^^^^^ good question. As much as I like them welding does not sound safe to me.
