I don't like it. It looks too dark so you cant tell it's carbon fiber. Makes it look like the center caps are missing from far away IMO.

Appreciate input. It seems the closer I get it looks more like they are not there if I go far you see the shiny silver

Agree with bmw325i. Looks like it's missing the center caps from far away and up close it looks out of place. The center caps that retain the BMW lettering/logo with CF accents would look much better.

Fort it had no centres in till i red the posts..

OEM centercap only. Unless you get aftermarket wheels and the OEM centercap doesn't fit. That's the only exception in my opinion..

Just use the oem caps and install carbon fiber vinyl over the blue parts of the bmw badge.

+2. It's not ghetto though. Just can't see the CF goodness!

How does everyone feel about getting the carbon fiber OEM looking front and rear emblems along with wheel caps debating whether these are tacky?

Needbmwpartzz · 05-18-2014, 02:43 PM

Ghetto ghetto....IMO!
But what matters is what you think.
