Hi guys, I have a set of rims from a 05 330 18" rims. But I need center caps for them and dont know the size. I see ebay says there are 2 different sizes including 62 and 63mm sizes. I have searched the forum to no avail. Any help please?

The center caps on my standard rims and the center caps on my old chrome rims are the same size, if that makes any difference (18" wheel).

Thanks for the info, it is difficult to know the difference for me because they offer the 62 and 63mm sizes.

That`s not AWD is it? if so, those led lights are interfering with with the trans cooler.

I removed the cooler and installed a larger one in front of the radiator.

Not sure why they're coming up as either 62mm or 63mm, either way, if its bigger you can sand down the edges of the teeth ever so lightly, or simply dab on some silicone and it'll stay in place.

These are what you should need; good price too

Good idea.

I bought 62 for my wheels but I think the 63s would have been the perfect fit.




BTW, your car is looking great!

Yes, it does look good Carver. I miss my 2001 sometimes.

Yes I have done some work to her. I upgraded all exterior lights except tag lights. LED tails and the rear bumper reflectors are now LED brake lights. Installed Component speakers and can now play my music via USB, MP3, Ipod. The only thing I would prefer is having the 3.3L and 5 speed trans from the 2nd Gen. But hey, its hard to have it all. lol

The 3.3L (200 cid) Runs very well, but honestly I really cant tell much of a power difference unless its a WOT. That is when you can tell the difference. And Yes I do like the 5spd trans. It breaks going down steep grades, and cruises very nicely on the interstate. And I do like the added bell`s and whistles, But still in all. I miss my 01, it was a very solid good car.

I was really mostly wanting the upgraded drive train hoping for better gas mileage via the 5 speed.

I get maybe 1mpg more with the 5spd trans. (summer time only though) My millage has been real bad lately on this gutter water winter fuel.

Well then, I guess im not so interested in that anymore. lol....thanks
