I have BBS MINI R90 rims on my MCS right now. They look cool all except for the exposed hubs... I forgot to tell the guy at Tire Rack this morning that I wanted the caps switched over. Whoops! I really am getting tired of looking at my rusty hubs too so... I want some different hub caps than stock on these things. I really wanted BBS caps, but the guy said they wouldn't fit. Really kinda liked the the ones on these:


Does anyone know where I can get these? Also what size are the stock MINI caps? If I can't get these are there any other center caps I might want to check out? Also does anyone know where I can pick up a set of those tight silver lug nuts?

Thanks

Your best bet for getting a BBS cap, is getting a BBS sticker that would fit that size.. Go to a local sign shop and ask them to make you a BBS logo cap sticker...

What is wrong with your current lug bolts? You can purchase chrome lug bolts if you wish, discount tire sells them..

Good luck, in your quest.. My goal when I get my R90's someday is also to get the BBS cap.. I agree that it looks better than the mini logo...

 

Aesthiccreations will make them. He made me a custom set to match my graphics and they look AWESOME! I sent him an illustrator file and I got some kick a@@ caps now.

 

Any lug nut can be made tight by applying sufficient torque. Hope that helps.

 

REAL FUNNY X! EVERYONE'S A FREAKIN COMEDIAN! When meaning tight I mean cool... I mean AWESOME.

I currently have an email in with the OEM Department of BBS-USA, to see if they have any further info. AC will make them? Nifty I'll have to start designing one, lol

Those lugs are probably BBS and available from TireRack. Some of the BBS wheels can't use the OEM lugs and they supply ones to fit MINI.

 

I noticed when I got my exhaust from MyMini in Fla. that their online catalog has center caps that you can order with either the Mini letters or the wings logo - check it out.
