    LR to BMW wheel centre adapters?

    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.
    Regards, Will

    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:
    lojalogo | eBay

    I bought these for about $23 delivered:
    Centro DE LAS Tapas Llantas Wheels Center CAP Sticker Metal Land Rover 3 | eBay

    Stick them onto the caps, job done.
    Regards, Will
