Just call the place where you got the Miro's and they can probably get you some. Otherwise, you could call modbargains, jlevisw or any other Miro dealer and get some bmw roundel centercaps that will fit.

Once again, we are talking OEM vs replica Miro's (CSL)....not apples to apples here. However, I believe the OEM caps should fit. My OEM caps from my 17" 138's on my xi did fit my VMR CSL's, however, but the CSL's from them are built to OEM spec for the hub size...72.56".
Hold up on the 124's for now. Because I know your old center caps will fit those for sure.
Monkey, I am curious if the hub size of the Miro reps is your problem. They make different sized center bores, depending on offsets. Did you have to install centering rings? Quote from Modbargain's website: *BMW E60 requires a hubcentric ring, please e-mail us for more information.. The lower offsets required for RWD E60's would have given you a 74.1 centerbore instead of the OEM 72.56.
However, I also found this on ModBargain's web site re: the Miro CSL rims:
"BMW center caps are available upon request. These wheels are compatible with OEM BMW center caps, meaning you can transfer the center caps from your original BMW wheels into these new CSL wheels."
Does anyone know if the OEM 74.10 bore rims have larger (or smaller?) center caps than the 72.56 ones? This could be your issue. You said your OEM ones are too BIG, so that is a bit odd. I would have expected too small if anything.
VMR CSL's would have solved all of these issues, correct bore size and caps that fit. Oh well.

After a quick search, it appears the OEM centercaps do come in multiple sizes. Go measure the diameter of the holes on each set of rims and report back.
im going to the dealership tomoz and will see which come close to the miro measurement, I cant iamgine there is not one around.
'have to say ' the falken tires are the dogs nuts look very sharp IMO
again hats off to Joe and his boys at trinity for the config and fyi they are too trying to find a centre cap solution, Im sure they will sell many for sets on this site
thanks to you and all our friends for your help

Monkey, Did you get an answer from Miro re: your caps?
nothing from Miro at all ,nada ,zilch
.............................. Joe at Trinty was very helpfull and sent me the black and white roundelsto try but , I actually want to the dealer and bought the stick on roundels and they fit really well. to try and keep the oem look going I would say that Im a little disapointed at the qulity of the Miro lot of paint run on them to be honest , not a deal breaker but I know its there!
