LR to BMW wheel centre adapters?

[winaje]

Hi all, am changing to 17" BMW style 130 rims for my D3. PCD, offset and load rating are correct. However, the centre hole for the cap is about 2mm bigger on the BMW wheel.

Has anyone found an elegant way to retain the LR caps in the BMW rims? I'm not interested in siliconing them in, and would prefer to not leave the caps out altogether.

I purchased some LR stickers from eBay and stuck them to the BMW centres.

Looks good.

I took the BMW cap apart, cut some plastic into circles(used a plastic document binder) the same size as the BMW cap logo, put them back together and painted them black.

Thanks for the replies and particularly the photos. As per Tombie's instructions...

I have done this:
The BMW logo is stuck onto the cap with double sided tape. Use a kitchen knife to lever the BMW logo off, throw it away lol...
Buy your prefered LR logo in 65mm from this eBay shop:

I bought these for about $23 delivered:

Stick them onto the caps, job done.

Hi
I have a set of the same BMW wheels as Redback and Kingo.
Can anyone tell me where to get some wheel nuts to suit.
I also need an extra wheel the same for a spare if anyone has one.
Cheers

The nuts in the link below are what I use.

I bought 22 of these from the same company, they tried to charge US$50 for shipping to Australia... Fortunately my in-laws live in the US and I sent them there, for onshipping. So just be careful of the freight costs. It's worth noting that I was unable to find a local distributor, even called the wheel nut manufacturer and asked them for someone local, they only had an old listing for a mob in SA whose details I could not locate...

I've succumbed to bling - my X5 rims are now adorned with LR logo centre caps.
