Thanks in advance.

Those look pretty nice.
I purchased some off of ebay back in '06 for my wife's /M Roadster. They were carbon fiber stickers layed over stock BMW roundels. The hood stickers were peeling within 1 yr/ with only around 5k miles. The stickers on the wheel roundels didn't hold up much better. The CF roundels were pretty ghetto 4-5 years ago. It looks like they've come a long way.
Glad you posted this. After looking at the seller's other auctions, I just might pick up a set of the blue/white CF roundels for my wife's 550i.

You guys think a Monaco blue E60 would look good with CF roundels?
Here's an attempt at photoshopping one in. (Excuse my photoshop failure

I wonder if there are lots of Redditors on these forums.

I worry about the clearcoat on them. After buying many, many CF items for my old WRX over the years, some held up great, others would oxodize after being outside in a matter of months. If trinity's CF roundels hold up, i'll buy them.
