Title: MK3 project - VR6 BBS centre caps
Post by: Madirish on 17 October 2011, 20:11

Hi, Just got some alloys for my MK3 project. R15 6.5 BBS...I think they are off a MK3 VR6.

I went hunting for centre caps only to discover they are Hens Teeth! Bar German ebay does anyone else know if you can replace them with anything else. Not bothered if they are not BBS originals...they cost £100 and some twit will just nick them anyway!

Any suggestions would be welcomed! :-)

Just stick some VW ones in, 52mm should fit :wink:

That's assuming these are the wheels you mean?

Nope...sorry.

Wasn't sure how to upload photo.

I measured it about 140mm across with about a 55mm gap at the lug. Saw some covers on german ebay...but they are going for more than I paid for the wheels! I posted a new thread on the wheels section. Wondering if there are porsche or audi alternatives. Anything will do to close the gap! :-)

Also I emailed BBS who were utterly useless and recommended I contact VW. Swines!  :sad:
