I thought you were looking for hood and trunk roundels.
Check out these for the wheels. I'm changing all of mine.

Yep, those are the ones I got from eBay. Good seller! But these are only on my 167's which I use as my winter wheels, so they're really not part of the theme of my car. They still look good though.

Damn they finally started to make them for the wheels. I had been looking for them the longest time for my other set of wheels.

My body shop did it all. He does amazing custom work. He knew the new F10 M5 has brakes like this (except in blue) and we loved the M badge look. I love how it turned out. He even had the smaller ones for the rear brakes. He does amazing work and I've been using him for years on all my BMW's. I'll ask him where he got them from. The one thing to note is that he sprayed the clear coat OVER the decals, so it's not going anywhere. Here's the rear brake.

You noticed! I wasn't sure folks would notice that, as it's not really a "yellow" that we might think of. Yes, this color has hues of orange and even green from certain angles, which is why I chose it. It's all about the pearl metallic blend in the color. I didn't want a standard, flat yellow or I would have gone with something totally different. This particular Lamborghini color had what I wanted and I figured it would do the trick. I might do Pearl Metallic Orange/Bronze in a year or two, once I get bored of this color. LOL!

Ask Tony - I think he got his roundels and wheel caps from Khoalty.
