    What size are the emblems on the baskets?

    I want to buy some new ones off E-bay, but my wheels are in storage. What size wheel emblems do they have?

    I think they are 44 or 45mm, concave. The PN# is 36-13-1-181-082

    I found that the dealer (after car club discount) was cheaper than anywhere else (US$2.66 each).

      Thanks, I appreciate it. I'm refinishing my wheels and all but one emblem are yellowed. :evil:

        I'd say they're 70mm concave.

          3" wide? I really doubt it.

            They are. Bav Auto sells them for $3.95 apiece.

              Whoops - I misread it the first time. The 45mm ones are for the bottle caps. The basket weaves are much bigger - 70mm sounds right. If you only need one, I'd take the cap into the dealer. If you end up paying 50cents more (a wait, you're in Canada, so I guess that would be CDN$10 more ;) ) so be it - you'll be sure to walk away with what you need.

              FYI -I grew up in Wpg, lived in TO for many years.

                Yep. Dealer for sure. I called Bav Auto to get one 70 mm and 4 smaller ones for my 16" wheels. If I remember correctly, it came to about $16 US before shipping. Not bad. Problem was, shipping was over $22 US. Yeah, for an envelope shipped from New England to here. :shock: Then there was the usual extra fees us Canucks all know too well...

                I went to the dealer. They had everything and it was way cheaper. Didn't have to wait either.
