I carefully removed the chrome Mazda emblems from my centre caps & put some Mazdaspeed overlays on - no reason you couldn't do the same with some OZ Prodrive versions :thumleft:

Can't begin to tell you how pleased I was to find 3 of these in the boot of the donor car I bought for the auto to manual swap. Recouped 20% of the outlay for the whole car!
Going rate then was about £70 each. Outrageous really but people want them and you can't get 'em.

Some of us just have an OEM fetish and nothing else will do.

My wife got me these one Christmas. I believe they were over £150 from the USA.

The most expensive part of BBS alloys is the centre cap... As without a genuine centre cap you may as well just have some fakes.

Previously I had the Mazdaspeed centre cap and a Punisher centre cap. I also wrapped the cap in a carbon wrap.
