wheel & cap identification/help

Hey Faq -  I am trying replace these center wheel caps or find a generic cap in the same dimensions that I can stick a roundel on - and curious if any of you know what the make of these wheels are and where I can go to find some caps?  Googling the serial number didn't seem to come up with anything similar. Someone on the faq previously told me he thought my wheels were from American Racing but I am not entirely sure.

Do the caps snap into the wheel's center holes with prongs around the edge?  If so, the best way to find a replacement is measure the diameter of the hole in the wheel center, and start looking.  Lots of cars used snap in center caps, and one is bound to fit the hole in your wheel.  Of course, if you can determine the maker, that'll make the task a lot easier.  

 

If you're really lucky, the center caps on stock squarelight steel wheels (and those used on E21s too) may fit; they're snap in and look similar to your picture.  As for the roundel:  measure the diameter of the one in your picture in mm; BMW has a bunch of different sizes for different applications; they're all peel and stick.

Hey Rdeeble, I sold a set of same wheels last year. Mine were repainted all silver and didn't come with center caps. So, I put on some steel wheel center caps from a 320i or a 2002 and they snap right on. I also installed new roundel emblems.

Have a look at the photo I'm attaching. The set went to a great home in FL.
