Anyone know where to find Alpina centre caps?
Hello all. Just picked up a set of 21 inch alpina rims and was wondering where I could source out centre caps for them as they didn't come with them. Thanks!

Find the wheel diagram for whatever BMW model they are from using one the online part database sites like realoem.com, bmw fans.info, or bimmercat.com.
The center cap (#2 in the diagram) will be listed in the part number index below the diagram and you can get the 11 digit part number. Once you have the 11 digit part nbr you can order them from your local BMW dealership’s parts dept...or google the part number to find vendors that sell them (ie BMW xx xx x xxx xxx).

There are some sets on UK ebay, at 68mm, but no idea if they are the correct size or not. Cost of first set I found was £11.49 for a set of 4.

I think that design is from the F01 model B7. Rather than a true center cap, it uses a cover for the lug nuts that locks in place. While the cover is standard it has a specific lock and key. The cool design feature for the wheel is that the valve stem is built through one of the spokes with the opening in the center. When the cover is in place, you do not see the valve stem. It looks like you can place a normal center cap at the center bore. I think you will need to measure it and buy accordingly. It may be easier to buy stickers and cover the BMW ones.
With the G11, they switched to exposed lugs. Hope that helps. |
