To roundel or not to roundel?

I did a quick-n-dirty photoshop of my 335 with the Advanti Catalan !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . My car will be lowered to remove the terrible xDrive wheel gap, and the wheels will be more flush with the fenders since they’re wider than the stock ones I photoshopped them on top of. But should I get BMW center caps?

This is the center cap on the wheels, close up:

It’s not terrible, but also Advanti is not exactly a brand of wheels that people are like dope Advanti wheels y0! I’m buying them because they’re sorta affordable flow-formed wheels from Tire Rack that look pretty good and are relatively light weight for their size. I think their style is such that they look like they could have come on the car, so maybe it’s better to get some BMW center caps? A set of real BMW ones is 24 bucks, and eBay knockoffs are like half that.

What should I do people?

I’d get BMW caps, the blue and white will add a little bit of contrast and give it a little pop.

Damn those look nice! I would use roundels. I’ve always liked the look of aftermarket wheels with the roundel emblem kept on.

I am agnostic on the center caps. And I usually only like 5 spoke wheels, but those look nice on that car.

Will the ones on the stock wheels not fit?

Guess I’m one of the 4 non conformists. I would never de-badge a BMW but there are already enough badges on it. Love the 3 series coups!

I’m going to be using the stock wheels for winter and I’d rather not have to keep moving center caps back and forth. It’s no big deal to buy another set just wondering if I should bother.

Ah fair enough.
