Weighted center wheel caps

I am contemplating buying a set of weighted BMW center wheel caps but think it may look a bit 'poser'.

Any thoughts?

I looked at these orginally but the UK price of 79.99 from BMW put me off. I think they look quite cool.

Opinions on here will be divided but its your car so your rules!

Weighted? What does that mean (or do)? Is this the same thing as "self-centering" wheel caps? If yes, Frupal just started a thread about them and shows pics. Click the following link to go directly to that thread: https://www.6post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1718408

I got some of the oem ones from bmw, one of better visuals mods I’ve done IMO. I doubt anyone would call you a poser for it. They were a bit pricey at $80 but worth it.

Exactly - it's not as if they're super "blingy" or stick out like a sore thumb. It's a totally OEM look and would take a bit of a car nerd to even spot them.

A couple of my current center caps are worn and look nasty..to my OCD eyes at least. I was going to replace them anyway so will be picking up a set of the weighted ones!
