LINUS to the rescue one more time. looking forward to the PM with the scetch.

not to harp on technicalities but you were clear and it's understood by post #7. the following comments are OT from what you are looking for.

i agree, if i had those m5 rims, i wouldnt want either of those two covers. cant believe they dont come with center caps.

Yep, as owner of post 7, and a set of the wheels in question, you were clear Yan. If we don't come up with a real part, Benz or otherwise, I'll send you a sketch of what I am kicking around. You're right on the money, looking at the bearing dust caps is teh ghey. We need a good looking solution to make running these wheels naked look tight as heck. I'll PM you later anyhow.

ok maybe i should of been more clear. when the wheel is mounted on the car, the center wheel bearing cover is exposed throught the center bore of the rim. i have turbine covers but im not going to use them, I want to cover up the wheel bearing with a BMW logo, but need some sort of a cover for the rim, just for the small hole in the center.

some guy on bimmer.info had a set then he sold the wheels to someone else but their search function isn't working right now.

[e34john]

called turbos i believe

turbines

...and the bottle cap looking ones.

e34 M5 wheels had two options for covers, the throwing stars and the bottle cap looking ones. Same wheel underneath.

[Erick]

Wait... are all M5 throwing stars like that?

[YAN-3]

i want to somehow cover up the center hole that is exposed. i have the wheels just need to make something to cover them, ive seen it somewere just cant remember were

[LINUS]

I've been toying with the idea of making some stainless caps, use like 3 setscrews from the backside. If someone makes something, or if there's an 'off the shelf' type part, I'd got that way tho, mainly because tightening the setscrews would suck.

I'm interested in hearing what Merc part that is that works/fits. I know nothing of Benz stuff, so if anybody can support that idea, please post what you know.

[e34john]

It doesn't fit but I've seen mercedes centercaps retrofitted to go on with a new roundel glued on top. what are you looking for the wheel or the cover?

[YAN-3]

lol thats cool
