BMW Center Caps on ASA JH3

[Graphite330isp]

Just got my tires(Dunlop M3 DSST) mounted and balanced on the ASA JH3 17" wheels from Tirerack, thanks Gary! The BMW center caps are looser than the ASA and seem to spin easily. Is there a qick fix? Maybe some glue or something on the inside? Dont know if its a big deal. Anyway My 330I Sport package should be arriving mid December and the winter set is all ready.

I would suggest just one dap of a clear silicone glue simply to keep them from spinning.

Graphite330isp - I think I'm about to order a similar package (certainly the same wheels), but mine will be for a 530xi.

Where did you get the center caps? If you got them from a BMW dealer, what size are they?

Also - I know this sounds goofy, but would something like a rubber band (narrow, wide, thick, thin?) around the cap snug it up enough? The rubber would degrade such that you'd want to replace it each year, but it's just a though. Not having seen the caps, I don't even know if it's technically possible.

Thanks!

Just reference my name 'Gary/Bimmerfest' as your 'previous contact' on the order and shoot me an email after the order is placed, and I'll include the caps at no charge.

Is it possible to get it now? Mine is a set of 16x7 Sport Edition F6 wheels. Or do you have the part # that I can buy from the dealer that will fit? Thanks.

Sorry, the F6 does not accept BMW caps.

Thanks for the idea Robert, I have used the clear silicone and I think it should hold up well. Gary, its been a pleasure buying from you and I will always recommend TireRack for the service!! I was glad to fill out the survey when I received it.
