You need to find out what mm the TSW center caps are, either find someone else with TSW wheels and ask them or contact TSW directly and find out. My Miro center caps were a diff size from the OEM ones and ended up being 65mm, so that is something you need to check out.

remove the current center cap, measure it then search on Ebay. Lots of Ebay's listings will have OEM part numbers as a replacement. You can also google the diameter with the words bmw wheel logo and you'll get the part number

Yeah I got my 65mm off Ebay also, I ended up going with the overlay aluminum sticker though which laid on top of the Miro roundels. Had to get a blade and remove the Miro logo and scrape the glue off, then put the BMW one in its spot.

just get a BMW decal sticker deal from ebay and call it a day. I did that on my Miro's and it looks great. Nevermind my super blurry pic, but I bought the decal and then changed the blue color to black using a decal that I had in my garage from a previous car.




This last pic shows the black/white decal on the trunk as well (can't quite see it on the front). I picked up the decal a couple years ago for a couple bucks for about 2 feet worth and hand cut the overlay.
