I have purchased all 3. These are flat, not domed like our rondel's & 1/16" thick, so bending them is out & it would crack the enameled logo - The large one is not big enough for a hood or trunk emblem. The only thing I can see is the small one could be adapted as a steering wheel center cap insert on a OEM wheel - it is 2mm to large to go in a Momo type center cap. Any other ideas?

Here's a little bit on what the ones from the MC shop will & won't fit.
1. I got 3 sizes from them. A small (45mm D) medium (60mm D) & large (70mm D)
2. The small works as a steering wheel center great. It's a glue in on the OEM E30 wheel & the OEM M-tech wheel. It WILL NOT work on a wheel (like Momo) where the center cap also works as the horn button.
3. The medium size works well, glued onto the wheel center insert for style 32's or M parallels & similar wheels.
4. The large size is a perfect fit for several styles of wheel center caps. The E30 BBS mesh 14" & 15", BBS RS's, BBS style 5 & 19. Their is very likely many more center caps that will take this size.
The bad news is it will not replace a hood or trunk rondel on the E30. The rondel itself is quite a bit bigger than the largest emblem.
Note that these particular ones are rather thick & heavy - they are like award metals. If your gluing them, be certain to use your glue generously.[I
