I want MINI center caps for my aftermarket wheels...

I have OZ Ultraleggera wheels and I want to fit them MINI centercaps. Does anyone know if this is possible? If so, does anyone know where I can get them? I am located in Japan, so I would need them to be shipped internationally.

Thanks for the link! I am running Federal SS595 tires. I liked them because of the tread pattern. They turned out to be great performing tires.

Try Mini Pirate - Vinyl Designs for Classic & New Minis, Smarts and Beetles

I had some JCW ones custom made for my aftermarket wheels and love them.

MINI's own center cap logo stickers are very inexpensive and work well on many aftermarket wheels. They are 50mm diameter metal disc with double stick tape on the back. Ask your dealer to order part number 36136758687. They are also available with JCW logo, part number 36136765999.

See this thread for pictures and information about alternatives:

Here is a MINI cap on my SSR wheel.

Hey thanks! I would rather go through a local dealer than have to deal with international shipping. Then, having to go through the headache of them not looking as good as I'd like them to and shipping them back. Anyway, thanks again. I'll be heading to the dealer tomorrow!!

Check the size first. I assumed they'd all be 50mm diameter like the real MINI ones and bought some only to find out my centre caps were 45mm.

I'm headed out to the car now to do some measurements. Thanks for the heads-up!
