Do you reuse your center caps when changing rims?

I am purchasing the BMW style rims 124 and am wondering if they come with center caps or do I just reuse my existing ones that are on my 138 rims?

If they come with them, use them, if not you can reuse the ones you have. Another option is to get the newer style caps for $10 each at the dealer - they look better IMHO 
Good luck

What do the newer style caps look like compared to the older caps? Can anyone post pixx??
I am looking for the thread, but basically the center caps we all have are flat in the middle with white (that usually turns yellow) trim around the edge. The new center caps are bowed out and have a chrome trim ring around the edge so they will hopefully not yellow and get ugly. Actually a very nice subtle mod.
