tires and wheels old style BMW hubcaps on 14" NK steelies

[nbristow01]

Will the old style, smaller BMW hubcaps fit on the 14" NK steel wheels?

Nope, 2000CS hubcaps will fit, and so will Bavaria hubcaps I believe. I'm working on mine right now.

It is a great look!! I tried like crazy to get my wife to swap her wheels for Alpinas or Rotas. There should be a few pictures of a Colorado 02 with the 14s and hupcapssomewhere on here.

I like the look on your car Andy. So FUN..what do the CS hubcaps look like? As long as they are simial to the older 02 ones it cool with me. Stockton said they can make teh 15" stainless beauty rings for 32 a pop. Not bad actually. the project will come out to about 250 a wheel for 15" et25 with caps and rings. Not cheap but I will have rims like no others LOL

That one pic (see attached) had a car with NK caps up front and CS caps in back. I like the smaller NK caps. I think this will be a cool look. Red car, black 15" steelies with SS beauty rings and old style BMW NK caps. Car is lowered so already has a nice stance.

These are a set of 14" x 5.5" 2000CS wheels in silver powdercoat and a set of four NOS "dog-dish" hubcaps.

They currently reside on Dave Hoovler's '71 Colorado.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHh thats a nice look. See this is your fault Andy. I was just fine, happy with my Rotas, minding my own business then you show off the black 14's on your 02.

nick if you don't find a set of wheels and caps, i have a very nice set of NK caps for 14" wheels

and i might still have a set of CS caps

LOL, I was bitten years ago and had purchased the 14 inch wheels to do with caps. They actually had a some girth added to them. I donated them as a Vintage at the Vineyards prize before I moved from NC.

Yup those are 14x5 NK 2000 sedan steelies with a mid year NK cap on the front and an early E3/Bav cap on the back. The centers of those wheels look similar to 02 Ti and Tii where they meet the rim. Though my car isn't lowered, just early. Dave Hoover's caps are "normal" E3/Bav caps.

There are many different versions of these NK 14" steelies. Some 14x4.5 ones use the smaller diameter '02 size cap like these on my '67 1800A. The caps on these are the same as early 1600-2's like '67s.

So be aware of the many versions of NK steel wheels. Most of the differences lie in the width, what dia hubcap used and rounded or flat edge where the center meets the rim. If you have any questions I can be contacted through the email link....

And then there are 1800 TiSA 14x6 steelies with their deep dish reversed look no cap centers... SO sexy...
