Center Caps all the same?

I just got my Clubman S and had to get some snows for it. I ended up getting some SportTuning T10 16"ers with Blizzaks from TireRack.

What I was wondering was if anyone know if you could replace the centercap that is shipped with these with other mini specific ones?

Is there an industry standard for center caps? or more of a 'its how we designed ours' mentality?

Thanks

I have seen the caps available on the Aesthetic Creations website.

Center caps do not come in standard sizes. Even wheels from the same wheel manufacturer may use different center caps for different designs.

The OEM cap (metal disc with MINI) is 50mm diameter and available at the dealer (or vendors such as: http://www.minicarparts.net/Parts/36_13_6_758_687.cfm). If 50mm is a close size for your new wheels, you can stick on the OEM cap. Otherwise vendors such as Aesthetic Creations can make custom vinyl stickers for any size.

The 50mm OEM cap happened to fit perfectly on my SSRs:
