Center caps for Enkei

I have a set of Enkei YS5 wheels in 17x7.5. Would like to replace center caps with oem MINI ones. Anyone know it they fit? If not does anyone (ahem...Alex ) know what size the Enkei center caps are? Maybe I can cobble up something.

@tlr1000 did the OEM mini center caps fit? Inquiring minds want to know.

Nope, I had to use Enkei caps and had custom made 3d decals made by 3dcarstickers.com. Just adhered these on top of the Enkei ones and it looked pretty oem-ish.

Thanks for posting. Those do look very OEM-ish. Can I assume you ordered them in 49mm?

The Enkei wheels I was looking at are cheaper than some of the other models I was considering, so this might just seal the deal for me.

Which wheel is that by Enkei? And what size/offset?

Edit: I see in your signature that they're YS5's. I was looking at the Raijin wheels, which look similar. Not sure which is better or what the price differences are.

I ordered 48mm caps. Always measure twice and if you have to error go a hair smaller. If it's a hair bigger and there's a raised lip, the decal will not mount properly...ask me how I know...lol
I don't recall to offset of the wheels and have never looked at the Raijin wheels so can't comment there. Enkei is a good company and makes wheels for manufacturers as well so they are a very trusted company. Been 6 years since I bought those wheels and don't even have the r53 anymore ...😭
