Ronal LS center cap question

[The_Lope7]

Currently running Ronal LS's on my e30. Love the wheels but currently I have the bmw logo center caps but I think I prefer the "Ronal" logo. Does anyone know if the bmw logo is just a cover over the ronal logo or is it a whole other cap? Didn't want to pull off the logo to find nothing underneath. Thanks!

It possibly is. The centers pop out and take a look that way. Mine were.

Im not sure on your issue but man those wheels look sick!

If that is your rim in the first picture, I am pretty sure you will find nothing underneath the BMW logo. A Ronal or ACT center has more depth, so if someone stuck a roundel on one of those caps then it would stick out verses looking recessed (as it presently looks).

Thanks, that was what I was thinking was the case

e304lyfe is correct.

The Ronal badge is thick and is stuck to the flat round plain surface of the snap-in insert that snaps into the wheel.

The person that replaced it with the BMW Roundel badge would have had to pry the Ronal badge off the insert, clean the leftover adhesive off the surface, then carefully center and apply the BMW badge onto the insert. I did this on 4 different sets of Ronals.

The Ronal badge sticks out, where the much flatter BMW badge ends up being a bit recessed.

Is there anywhere that I could find the ronal badges? The only place I saw was somewhere called 3d car stickers but those are obviously aftermarket.

Found this Ebay set (below). I'm not sure if these are correct, but aside from the back snap-in portion being white (my originals were all black) these look like the originals (4-snaps). Check the diameter - dunno if it's the same or not.

I suspect this seller my be the original Ronal USA division, which was also in Huntington Beach (headed by Gary Allison). You might want to contact them directly and see if they know if these fit the ACT-LS.

I contacted Ronal through their Ebay auction and asked if these caps will fit the ACT-LS, and they responded that they Will NOT fit the ACT-LS (it was a long shot since the ACT-LS wasn't listed in the fitment chart for them).

He said they do pop up on Ebay from time to time and to keep an eye out.

Thanks so much for checking! I'll keep an eye out
