Title: BBS CH's & Standard ED30 Pescara's
Post by: garethmk1 on 01 August 2008, 12:34: Dear All,

Am I correct in thinking that despite the difference of the embossed text that the CH's and the pescaras are the same wheels ? If so, will the BBS CH centre caps with the BBS logo fit the Pescara's ?

Regards,

Gareth

Post by: brian g on 01 August 2008, 16:24: the centre caps on my CHs are 71mm

the other differences are they are 8" wide not 7.5" and an offset of 50mm

Sorry chap, dont have the paint codes for the OEM stuff.
I have had a look on EKTA in the V pages, nothing for this wheel.

Not sure.....
As suggested above. the centre is 65mm ish. BBS only make 56mm, 70.6mm or 80mm centre caps.

Post by: colb666 on 04 August 2008, 19:38: I had issues getting centres for my reps and tried various avenues (including Philip @ PWMotorsport) and was getting nowhere.
I got a set via a alloy wheel dealer down on the south coast.
these are the centres I got and I believe he got them from Motorsport wheels In London.They fit the ED30 pescara's.

Those are not genuine BBS badges.

Those badges are made for the replica wheels, despite the BBS markings and authentic looking BBS number on the rear the badges are not genuine BBS items.

The part number if ordered from BBS refers to a larger 70.6mm badge.

Post by: colb666 on 05 August 2008, 14:01: Yeh I gathered that Philip after the bother you went to trying to source a set for me.I paid less than half the cost of a 70mm set and the quality is very good so I'm happy with the end result mate.
Thanks again for trying it was much appreciated.

I got a "spare" set in black with gold lettering,again from RnR design in Sussex.Their phone number is 0870066186 and the chaps name to speak with is Will.
If you ask him for centre caps for the BBS rsgt reps they sell then he'll know what your after.

Post by: gazman on 18 August 2008, 20:15: Evening all.

Are the BBS and th PESCARA the same colour????

I have taken my scuffed pescara to 2 diffrent alloy repair places and both could not match the colour. was just wondering if BBS are the same colour, to try and get paint code from them as VW have not a clue.
