This info may help, like I said in my email I thought the center caps on the JDM version of LMGT4s were a different size. This guy said the JDM ones are smaller, but they must be bigger and those are the caps you were likely sent from Japan.

Jdm nismo ones are still available but if they are not in stock expect a long wait from rays + international shipping. Ems is not cheap. They have many lmgt4 but a lot have been discontinued and only available in white, bronze, silver.

They even had 18x9.5 +0 lmgt4 which I can get but not cheap.

If anyone interested in these wheels should let me know soon before I place an order for the next pair and keep them..

yea i want m3 mirrors so let me save up multiple thousands for an m3 that´s not a very good long term car without warranty. I want aftermarket mirrors, this happen to look like the m3´s. There´s not any other mirror options for our cars that i like. that´s like saying someone who buys a strafespeed bumper should just save up and buy a porsche. Or the people who buy m3 lips should just opt for an E46 m3´s instead?

Thanks for the help. I did some research and its true that the JDM GT4s do have a larger center bore. Hopefully I can return these JDM caps to Nengun.

thanks for the help.

Anyone know if other rays/volk/g-game caps will fit??

basically. i don't like body kits, m3 style mirrors are ricey to me, and why isn't an m3 a longterm car? you obviously don't know much about german cars. i'm not going to get into an argument about this, but do some research on m3's not just what people say that have never owned one or worked on one

they´re obviously not ricey to me or i wouldnt be rocking them so you do you. And M3s are nowhere near as reliable as g35s they break down quite a bit and the repairs can be really costly

nowhere near as reliable? says who? if you go along with BMWs service plan you won't have issues and the repair costs can be 'costly' because of the import fee's. since the US can't make decent repair parts for german cars, most parts places have their parts 'imported'. and everyone on these forums are worried about g35s and 100k miles and breaking down. m3's really don't start breaking in till around 85k+. so like i said do some research on an m3 and not go off of what you may think you know and what other people think they know. talk to someone who works for bmw or has owned multiple m3s. they will out perform and out last a g35 any day if you treat your car the way it should be treated.

outperform yes, i would hope so since it costs over twice as much as a G, outlast not really, the G will most likely be on the road or parked looking pretty while the M will make ocasional trips to the mechanic. I would not own a bmw if i planned on keeping it forever like i plan on doing with my sedan, especially out of warranty. Best thing to do at this point is agree to disagree before more thread jacking and turning it into a multiple page infiniti vs bmw debate
