Bargain. I want some of those but the ones on the bay are to far away or too dear.
BBS rm or something like that. Years ago i went into a chavvy wheel shop and the bloke put me in touch with his supplier who stocked those centre caps for £30 each.
Might be worth a go.

Looks like a bargain.

What size are they?

e-bay has a load of centres for 15" wheels. However 14" is a different matter  :sad:

If anyone has just one for a 14" let me know...

I also got a set of these for £40 with decent tyres and no centres :) if it has BMW stamped between the wheel nut holes, they're RZs. love them, but having a bit of trouble fitting them. If you've got lowered suspension (mine's only 40mm) then 195/55/15 tyres wont fit lol

What size are they?

e-bay has a load of centres for 15" wheels. However 14" is a different matter  :sad:

Send a message to a guy called deanpompey. He's got some but dunno if they're provisionally sold.

They look like BMW BBS's

Trial fit a RM centre before forking out £80. I dont think they will fit. You might need the centre caps that look like RM ones but are slightly different shape.

Trial fit one first

The ones posted a couple posts above on the black mk2 are BBS RZ's, that came off of old BMWs. BBS RM's (if I'm not mistaken) are split lip alloys.

Have just taken a set off my car...got all four centre caps and loads of tread on the tyres. Not too far away either, drop me a message if you're interested.

EDIT: Thought you where on the isle of Man...not so close after all.

Sorry for the thread hi-jack.

As for the original post the post the wheels are off a bmw E30, search "E30 centre cap" and quite a few come up.

Thats a link for 4 caps...says they are for 15" wheels but the ones shown in the pic are actually for the 14" wheel, prob a mix up by the seller.

Also you get metal or plastic ones, metal ones go for much more

I have these wheels (the BMW ones) too, a set of five with centre caps and tyres cost me £200 about three years ago.

However I am now down to two centre caps having scattered the rest across the motorway system somewhere! Cleverly I have put them on the same side of the car, so I can park good side out for photos  :smug:

They are the wrong size for the golf though really so good luck!
