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.

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.

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.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/E30-15-CENTRE-CAPS-BBS-WHEELS-X-4-RARE_W0QQitemZ200435944847QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item2eaae9cd8f

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!
