    Need help with part number-Damn dealership

    I just got my 16" Throwing stars powdercoated and need some new inserts (the whole thing-plastic and bmw labels). I believe they are 57.1mm. I thought someone said that you can get those at the dealership. I went to BMW Dallas and they were asses. He said he did not think so, but if I had the part number, he would look (I thought it was their job to look it up or take it to someone who knew). He tried to tell me the only ones where the bottlecap ends. Anyway, do I need to go somewhere else to get the insert and then get the BMW sticker from dealership or can I get it all there? If so, does anyone have the part number.

    I saw the one for the E36, but they are larger.

    Thanks!!

    Pics coming of the new rims. The powdercoat looks great. I did the DIY job with the duplicolor and it turned out like crap.

    Where did you get 16 inch throwing stars?

    You just want the BMW roundels and then the center caps for the wheels? The center caps will have to come from whoever made those after market wheels. My local BMW parts house has a whole case of roundels if you have a larger parts store that might carry them you can bring in the center caps to get the right size.

      I bought them off the boards here. They are standard flat 57.1 inserts with the BMW sticker on them. I may try the tire store and then get the sticker from the dealership. I was hoping to just make one trip. I have a few of the inserts, but am missing 2.

        I know discount tires keeps center caps for customers that may need one. THey asked for my Rota ones when I didn't want them put on the car.
