Question Need help finding wheel center caps!

I was trying not to post about this but I'm having a hell of a time finding center caps for my wheels. They're 18" Avant Garde M310's, the center cap specs are as follows:

18" M310 center cap:
· Cap Diameter: 66mm
· Inner Prong Diameter: 63mm
· Sticker Overlay Diameter: 61mm

Does anyone have any solutions for a BMW Roundel center cap for this size??

I had a similar issue with my Z4m....also put on avant grade m310 wheels...the BMW caps did not fit so I found the overlays on eBay...the correct size too....sanded the avant grade ones...super glued the BMW overlays on it....looks factory

Did the same with the BBS wheels on my 128...again...u can't tell it's not a factory center cap

TireRack sells BMW center caps. Not sure of the size. Did you try them?

Peace... Mack

I wasn't aware, I'll check that out, thanks!

Edit: Just chatted them up, they only supply OEM size

Yeah...sorry about that....on my AG 510...i used 70 mm overlays for my Z4M. On my BBS CH-R for my 1 series...i used 65mm overlays. Just measure the O.D of ur center caps...find the best fitting one you can even though they may be say 1mm too big as was the case with the 1 series...i really needs 64mm to fit perfectly in the inner ring of the bbs center caps...had to use 65mm but centered them perfectly over the ring and they look perfect fit...just remember to sand and center best you can...shoykd turn out like mine even though they are 1mm too big...use good quality superglue like locktite 496 and apply lots of pressure...then clean off the excess

Ebay has an unlimited amount of BMW center caps, Overlays, and different style caps.
