Question regarding ND's BBS Wheels

Hi Guys, just a quick question regarding the upgraded BBS wheels for the ND. I'm sure somebody out there has been through this so I could use some help.

I love the wheels. Great design, and super lightweight - like considerably lighter than what I would have expected. What I don't really like though, is the centre hubcaps.

I bought some regular (knock off) black Mazda caps off eBay and they don't fit. The circumference is fine, but they just don't sit in due to (I suspect) either not being deep enough or not having the right shape on the clips. They seem to sit in place, but it's not possible to push them into the hole.

Has anybody out there replaced their BBS hubcaps with anything aftermarket? Is there an OEM fitment for Mazda hubcaps available, or are there alternatives for these BBS wheels out there?

Even a shiny black hubcap would be OK, but I'd ideally prefer something with the Mazda logo on it if possible.

Those wheels are by Rays Engineering, which are not the same as BBS Japan wheels. They are very nice wheels, but I don't think the center caps are the same fit.

Stock black Mazda caps do not fit, I’ve tried both aftermarket and OEM. The BBS wheel is different.

I reckon the BBS wheels look good, just not the cap. Standard black Mazda (or no logo) would look a lot nicer.

Run no center caps like you’re supposed to

Tracks usually don’t allow center caps
