wait, new wheels and no wheel caps? i'm guessing you would need the centercaps to fit the forgestars but are you going for the bmw logo or the forgestar logo? if you want the forgestar you can go to getyourwheel** and see if they sell them?

I have the forgestar center caps but I'm wanting to put the bmw center caps on here. The ones off my stock wheels don't fit. There was a member here that had them.. But I forgot their name

there are 2 different size caps for the OEM wheels. it's either going to be 68mm/70mm. but it depends if those forgestar wheels will let you use bmw caps?

I've seen f14 forgestars with bmw caps before somewhere on this forum. What's the stock bmw cap size for our f10s?

This was how I was able to tell which cap the f10 has

The 68mm wheel cap has a gray plastic ring around the outside edge. The newer 70mm cap has a chrome outer edge.

Forgestar used to sell these but I don't see them on their website. OEM center caps won't work. What I did is remove the decal from the Forgestar center cap and epoxy a replacement emblem to the Forgestar cap. I used epoxy since the emblems I purchased were convex and I needed something to fill the space behind the emblem. I don't recall the size, but measure and then go search eBay. I never liked the Forgestar BMW caps because the emblem was flat.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the suggestion. Earlier I looked up the forge star center cap sizes which came to be 63mm and stumbled across some bmw center caps that were 63mm as well and ordered a set. Will be putting the rims on Thursday.

Looks like the center caps might need a little force to go in since I plastidipped a layer of glossifier on the wheels to protect from brake dust.
