Where to buy centre caps for these?
One pic is for the front and the other is for the back. I noticed the front hub is not the same as the back. One is flushed with the rims, the other one protrudes a little bit out. Where can I buy centre caps for the front and back?

Are these the steel wheel winter rims? I believe bmw sold those cap which cover the center hub a while back. doesn't matter about the hub, all 4 are the same. or go with full size hub caps?

What you mean?
The front and rear wheels are the same in OP case. Realoem diagram shows different type of wheel labeled as number 2, its your donut (emergency) rim. Its not the rear rim.
OP has 17" style 12s which are all the same front and rear
I would suggest either searching ebay for some used caps for these or just not worry about it and drive like that . I have the same ones, style 12s for the winter which didnt come with center caps and it never bothered me.

Your post wasnt clear, thats all.
OP never asked any questions about the axle hut caps, he just made a few statements about them. He had only one question and it was about center caps.

if you just walk in without a part #, i could i understand why they weren't available.
Since it fit a hole butch of models, I'm 98% sure that the dealer can still get these parts if you give them the #'s.

I don't know which dealer you go to, i came to marenello with part numbers, not only for those caps, but also other part numbers for an old bmw,( such as E34 M5 license plate filler e.t.c.). More than 50% of those parts don't exist anymore or they "can't" really get them for you.
