      No caps, that looks so sexy.

      You should add a poll.

        Would be cool if you could just rock the roundel part and still had the bolts exposed..

          poll added, and yes that is EXACTLY what i wanted to do, but there are no roundels that look proper in there, i feel that with caps and the BMW emblem is a happy compromise

            cap looks better. partially because wheels never look right with more holes than bolts.

              Needs caps, looks like a Sportmaxx otherwise.

                  Caps. I'm all for capless wheels, but only when they aren't multi-bolt pattern. Then it just looks cheeseball.

                  If they weren't multi-bolt, they'd look killer capless. Those look good with the caps.

                      Definitely rock the caps. Multi-lug ruins the look of capless.

                        caps make the car look more authentic....no caps make it look raw. no caps.

                            Multi-lug ruins all rawness. Period. Multi-lug wheels FTL.

                              Agreed.

                              But as it is, rock the caps.
