So I ordered carbon fiber roundels for all of the bmw symbols on the car and had to sell them because they didn't fit on the miro's. I am interested in customizing the ones that do fit in the miros so they can be carbon fiber...Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can cost effectively do this?

The problem with a lot of replica rims is that the standard BMW centre caps do not fit.A variety of sizes can be found on ebay but they are usually of poor quality.If you have a set of blank caps,or you can remove the badges from your existing ones,carbon fibre effect adhesive badges can be an option.
This seller does a range of sizes:-
