BBS Center Cap Wrench?

http://www.amazon.com/BMW-Genuine-Ce.../dp/B001R5P6OC

The BBS wrench claims to fit all BBS center caps. I don't always believe such things. Would anyone happen to know if there is consistency in BBS center caps size and will the wrench indeed fit a Mazda BBS cap? Just want to make sure before I buy the thing.

Before and after pics with regular NA wheels to vert wheels. First picture is way better quality though.

Thanks!

this is actually true. being the owner of one of them, and also being a tech for a few years, i have used that tool on all bmw's with bbs center caps, there is another car that uses bbs style caps, but it alludes me right now....

It is right. There is a handled wrench version you can get. I found one new on ebay earlier in the year for $9 or so.

The wrench for my RGIIs is larger than the one for the OEM vert wheel.
