Floating Center Caps - Which bolt pattern - 668M's?
https://www.amazon.com/BMW-361224552...3955508&sr=8-3
112 or 120? Pretty sure 112. Also, can the stationary cap swap with these be performed without removing the wheel? Thanks.

Hello! Bolt pattern is 5x112. The center bore(CB) is 66.6 which is the spec for 668m original rims. Also, the link is the correct spec for the floating caps.

They won't work with 668s.. Caps can be swapped with wheels mounted no problem. |

That's crazy, I've seen 3 or 4 members post here confirming they don't spin, I know this is a long shot, but could it be possible that the matte cerium OEM wheels have a thicker coating of paint? Creating a smaller diameter over the hump inside the bore vs having wheel stripped and painted/powder coated. For those who want a visual, if you take off your cap, and run your finger along the circumference of the wheels bore you'll notice a hump located a bit in, that's what I'm thinking is creating the pressure on the counter weight. At this point I think I will give up and not have floating caps on this set lol

Any genuine BMW parts, accessories included, installed before the car was delivered are covered for the New Car Warranty. If a dealer installs it after the car has been delivered then they’ll have the remainder of the new car warranty or 2Y whichever is longer. Mine still spin freely, but I don’t have 668M wheels. |

Maybe the previous owner swapped them over to another car, a tech stole them, i dont know...lol What i do know is that my build sheet shows the 668M's were ordered and floating caps, so they "should" work! Waiting on Joe to report back |

I'll either pop mine off with a nylon tool or use some double sided tape to pull them off, saw this on a YT video, less risk of scratching).
