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.
If you can't find what type they are, get them posted on http://www.wheel-whores.com :D
-

-

Ebays a freaking minefield for centre caps, took me about an hour to try to sort mine and im still non the wiser
-
just type in BBS RM and a ruck of center caps come up all same size as whats required! :wink:
-
Cor bargain city mate!! Yeah get on ebay for the centres :smiley:
-
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...
-
Are they whats on your p'sat?
yep, of the 15 incher kind :wink:
-
There 15 7j. Wasnt sure what they would look like on but after seeing the pic above I think they'll be ok.
Had a look last night on e-bay, was a bit lost at first but will be getting sorted next week I hope.

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

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!
-
Thanks everyone for there help and pictures, BMW is stamped on them so will be looking down the E30 route.. Only be using the wheels for a few month as got a set of good summer alloys coming..
