  • BMW Style 19 Metal Center Cap

    I just bought a set of refurbished BMW Style 19, but disappointed with the plastic center cap.

    Same as this one http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=36159

        Without any changes to the wheel, this is the option you'll need. They are sold in machined, polished, triple chromed or 24k gold plated

          I know of those, what I was wondering if they made the plastic cap that covers the lugs, in a metal version.

            nope, and unfortunately there isn't enough of a market to produce the waffle plate area in aluminum.

            the time spent in development of a part that has a complex shape like that wont turn a profit unless produced at a large scale. which there isn't enough style19 owners, never mind owners willing to spend the cash on it

            we did one in which we machined the top of the face and machined a flat waffle plate but there was a lot of work in those faces and a one off in the end. we could do it again, the end product in this picture consisted of the following
            spinfab threaded centerbore sleeves, machined and welded into the face
            (4)flat waffle plates billet water jet cut to size
            (4)spinfab half height billet hex caps
            (4)bbs logos 3 prong 70mm



            shown there with 12pt hex caps

              i orderd hex caps from spinfab a few days ago. was hoping there would be a metal piece that someone made. looks like ill have to suck it up and have them painted the old fashion way.
