1. Everything you need is below...I just happen to have 4 brand new roundels that I got from Khoa like 2 years ago.

2. Cut the tabs off new BMW roundels and cut Enkei roundel in half.....

3. Place the 220 grit sandpaper on a smooth surface and lightly sand both the Enkei ring and the BMW roundel matting surfaces.

4. Gorilla Glue the 2 halfs together. Wait for at least two hours to dry. Pics on car after drying time is up.

Those wheels look about a hundred thousand times better with BMW roundels.

Infinitely better. I think this was the missing link with your car. Glad you got rid of those hideous centercaps!
