If you go under the classifieds on here there's a guy named chris who works for "alloyrus" - they had AWESOME feedback on ebay and sell a TON of different OEM replicas. Mine came yesterday (quick shipping too!) shipped to my door for 750 bucks for the m5 166's. They looked amazing in the box, will get put on my car this weekend. I'll post some pics/feedback probably Monday of next week

I know with the M5 replicas we carry, the centercaps are I believe 68mm and the OEM M Stickers fit right on. They are the Miro brand as well.

My Ride: BMW 520i, March 2004, Silver Grey, 68000 Miles, PDC, DIY iPod Setup with remote control, GLOVE BOX TORCH- YES! It might only be a 520i, but you've got to start somewhere! It's my first decent ride, and I'm still only 22. And unlike some this ain't Daddy's - it's all mine!

I just got a set of the M stickers in yesterday, and the adhesive was dire. I went back out a couple of hours after sticking them on my rep wheels and gave them an angry look, and they just fell off. Mixed up some epoxy resin, slapped it on the back of them, and now they are stuck on as solid as a rock. I mean, my reps came without spigots and i've been driving around with the worst vibration all day at 85mph, and they are still on.

So watch out for shitty adhesive on any replica stickers (mine only cost ?5 anyway). Epoxy is the safest way to go.
