WTB: Forgestar BMW roundel Center Caps

As title says, looking to buy a set of Forgestar-made center caps with BMW roundels instead of the kinda cheesy carbon fiber look. I can't find them available anywhere. Flexible on price. Shipping to 97304.

Why not just buy BMW roundel overlays and place over the Forgestar symbol?

I considered that option, but I'd rather have the proper caps.

Do the OEM center caps not fit Forgestar wheels? I didn't know Forgestar made BMW roundel caps.

I believe they briefly made them, though my guess is there was some sort of trademark issue. BMW OEM caps will not fit the wheels; Forgestar use a rubber o-ring to retain the cap, while BMW caps clip in. Also BMW caps are 68mm IIRC, while the Forgestar caps are 63mm.

This is probably going to be your best bet and what I plan on doing when my Forgestars come in. Chances of finding the actual center caps are pretty slim.

I'm happy with them all things considered. The only thing I don't like is that they can't print chrome for the BMW letters and rounded accents. Instead they use a light grey gradient which looks cheap to me. I ordered some custom ones and requested gunmetal for all the areas that should otherwise be chrome. I haven't put the those on yet but here's a pic of the standard ones.

Bump to top. Ordered some of those stickers and the gradient just wasn't up to par for me. Still hoping I'll find a Forgestar set at this point

I didn't like the gradient either so I ordered a set with gunmetal letters instead. Much better.
