    Default Which center cap should I use?

    Which centers should I use? I think I prefer the BBS but I'm not sure. I popped the emblem out of a center cap from a set of E30 wheels and its the same but I only have 3.

    Yeah, I like them both... I'd go back and forth every other week just to see if anybody notices...

    I just replaced my Borbet black center caps w/blue and black roundels. I like the touch of blue with the black on a black car. Just my opinion, I'm partial to black cars...

    Hmm both look good, but I'm leaning towards the BBS centres, since you already have 2 roundels on your car (hood and trunk), why have another 4 on your wheels?

    They are 3 piece, 17". They are a bitch to clean but I really like em.

    Excellent idea Jeff. I was thinking the same thing since I only have 3 anyway, so its drivers side BMW, passenger side BBS, until I can decide which I prefer. Anybody know where to get the BBS inserts, preferably in Canada? I wouldn't mind picking up some new ones.
