Hi mate, it's a top idea.. but just reckon it's a bit too expensive. Couldn't really justify spendin £60+ on centre caps :)

it does seem pricey ...but then if you think of it as £20 per wheel , and I am guessing it runs on some kind of sealed precision bearing mount , then that does not seem so bad IF this mod is to your taste .

Apparently invented by Rolls Royce ..dont know how reliable that is tho '

Personally I think thisis one of those mods you carry out once all other usual mods have been done and there are not many options left

if i get enough interest , say 10 of you , then I will try and get a decent deal . what would an acceptable figure be would you guys say ...£ 55 a set ..is that palatable ?

That's right.

The current Rolls Royce Phantom, has this....

I was speaking to one of the sales guys at show, he said it's good for around 80mph, after that they start to also spin with the wheels.

Most of the modern Rolls Royce have these as do Bentley. These are cheap in comparison a RR one will set you back about £200 each. :eek:

Nice subtle mod, looks good at shows when you consider all you badges are facing the same way just one of those little details that make all the differance.

not trying to offend any1 but i think they are kinda naff for a bmw :o they are bit to much a novelty mod thing if u get me..

and if i had a rr or bently with them on it i'd prob try and take them off..

how much do they wiegh? wouldnt they fall out during some hi speed country driving or right after jet washed.. my hamann ones fell off a million times! and they wiegh nothing lol

do they stick out at all?

sorry again guys if im being boring here lol just reminds me of the back wheels of a bus. :o
