BMW center cap logo on non-bmw wheels?

Sorry for a newbie question. If i buy aftermarket wheels, can i still put a BMW-logo in the center of them or is this not possible or not recommended for other reasons? Are there like a standard diameter to look for?

As it's your car, You can put a BMW cap (or any other cap) in them that fit securely.

The center cap is just a piece of plastic with tabs and a locking ring. Most wheels, oem and aftermarket, have the same size opening for a center cap... but not all. Once you have selected the wheel you want, just call the manufacturer and ask if it will accept a oem bmw center cap.

You can also look on TireRack. You can look at different wheels on your car.

You can also look at the individual wheel. It will also tell what center caps you can use under optional equipment.
