I have VW ones on my BBS and my Longbeach from the ebay seller 'sellinthese' they are item number 181152921265 and seem good quality, or are you after BBS ones?

Just use your old centre caps and get new stickers for them off ebay, measure the recess in the cap,you will have to do a small amout of trimming as there a little step in the cap for prizing them off
These were mine

Cheers all but wanted the proper BBS ones.

Screech i had that guy on ebay send me red stickers on my old one but they weren't great quality, didn't last long.

Might have to do that again though if the proper ones are £50 a set
