Avant Garde center hubs went brown
Six months after getting my AG355 wheel the center BMW hub has turned brown. Almost like rust behind the plastic. Does anyone know if the stock hubs will interchange? Or is there a replacement that won't discolor?

The stock center caps on BMW are 70mm I believe and the ones on Avant wheels are 68. Only center caps you can find in that size are after market and lots of them fade because they are made so cheap

I replaced the "decal" portion of the center cap that came with my Avant Garde M310 wheels with some that I picked up off of eBay. The "decals" are actually a domed piece of aluminum with adhesive on the back and what I think is an epoxy (or some thick glossy coating) covered decal on the front. They look the same as OEMs. The center caps for my wheels were 68mm, I suspect yours are as well.
I used a hairdryer to heat the adhesive a little before using a small screwdriver to get under the edge and start prying up the stock decal. It worked out well, and I only had a little mark on the edge of the cap where I started prying, which really isn't noticeable. Pix below:

I actually removed the BMW logo plate from the plastic part that goes into the hub and it fits perfectly on my Stance wheels. Driven 80 on the freeways and it is still perfectly snug in the hub.
