Help ID these center caps? And maybe locate one?

[ablank135]

So, my tire guys reshod my wheels today and returned one of them with a broken center cap, of course. So now I'm in the unfortunate position of trying to source what might be unobtainable. First, I need to figure out what these actually are, if the minds here can spot them for me. Help?

These are caps from 14" Enkei mesh wheels. They appear to be also aftermarket caps with a BMW emblem affixed; the underside reads: 1329 Taiwan. Which is not encouraging. The inside diameter of the center cap opening (I was assuming metric, but perhaps not) looks like 63-64 mm, which is probably just coincidentally right at the 2.5" mark. (These are definitely NOT the common 68mm.) FWIW, the BMW emblem is 45mm across. The caps protrude 30mm from the rim.

I have a vague recollection that these might fit mid- to late-80s 535 OEM wheels, but that could be bad memory. Are there actual BMW analog caps that match these? Search is turning up nada. Any suggestions on finding one or a new option for all four would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Andy

I'm not familiar with the model but a close look at the inside suggests new aftermarket. Plastic looks modern, and originals probably were not made in Taiwan.

Buy some Enkei center caps on ebay & put BMW center cap logos on them.

Worst case you can have them 3D printed. I was looking for some old HRE center caps for another project and couldn't find any. We scanned them and had them 3D printed. A friend did it for me and it wasn't terribly expensive.

That's my fallback. Actually, there are aftermarket Chevy caps that are in the 63mm range, but they're flush with the edge of the hole. I'm holding out hope for something with some height, like the ones pictured.

There were a couple of Japanese wheel makers that liked the "viagra" look on their wheels. My Weds came with something like that.

In addition to Enkei, look to see if Weds, or Hero Racing (HR), or maybe SSR has anything that might fit.

Thanks, all. Taking the simplest route, I managed to "adapt" some current X5 caps from my local dealer ($17 each). They sit flush with the wheels, but good enough for now. I will keep my eyes open for some more, um, erect options in the future.

I have those same caps on my Weds (but I am keeping the original viagra caps in storage in the unlikely event I decide to change my wheels).
