4 pcs Genuine BMW Wheel Center Hub Cap 68 MM for 1 3 5 6 7 X Series OEM
Dec 28, 2016
Good Caps
Bought for a '01 BMW 525i Touring with +1 17" BMW Type 81 wheels. They look very nice and fit perfectly into the center of the wheel. Just verify you need a 68mm cap.
From Chiana but with BMW logo sticker and part number. They are molded plastic (shiny metal and gloss front) with "Made in Italy" on the back. Pretty sure they are BMW knock offs but they look good and serve the purpose and you certainly can't argue with the price. Mine took longer to arrive than expected.
How they are doing a year from now isn't known.
I like KMC chains and feel they are a great value, excellent quality product.
When your chain wears out you DO need to also replace your KMC Missing Link too as it has been wearing along with your chain. They use the word re-useable to mean you can remove and replace the Missing Link during the life of your chain. Some remove the chain to clean it although I've never seen the need to do that.
There are also several KMC Missing Link versions. Some are for KMC chains like the 10R Missing Link others will fit Shimano or SCRAM chains. Not sure exactly what the difference is but be sure to get the right one for your brand chain.
Shimano Sora RD-R3000 9-Speed Rear Derailleur Pulley Set

Derailleur Rollers Bad?
My derailleur rollers on a recent used purchased were hacked pretty bad. Derailleur was Shimano 600 Tri-Color but was hacked with a Suntour pully that wobbled and a Shimano pully with the bushing missing. This set solved my problem at a great cost and quality. The pully with the extra metal in the wheel goes closest to the cassette/freewheel.
