are all hubcrntric rings same size for bmw?
Thus, ask for 74.1mm outside/72.56 inside. You can get plastic or metal. I like the metal ones. They are actually very thin when you see them (they can bend and break easily). They should be about $4 each from tirerack. Get a spare set of 4 for when you change your wheels.
I still had to use tape on the inside to get a snug fit. I hate rings!!! I am glad I now have OEM wheels.
The only way that you can get a perfect fit is to start with a perfect inside diameter. Otherwise, these rings are the best you can do.
As I said before, try to get the wheel people to slowly rotate the tire as they tighten the nuts. This will help to disburse the effects of gravity.

The inside diameter is 72.56mm (give or take a few .01 mms). The outside diameter is set by the aftermarket wheel manufacturer. It is usually 74.1 mm (so it will also fit the 3-series and other cars).
