Neither Sundaydriver nor Exonian have VW centre caps on the BBS wheels. So I don't know.
Perhaps Ess_Thee has the answer. Can't find the pictures of his car with the BBS CH wheels.

It seems one can, having just looked at a picture posted on the other thread by Gene Hunt.  :smiley:

Those look like mk5 edition 30 passcara/rockingham VW wheels.
They are 7.5x18 with ET50 and standard VW bolt hole type and i suspect different centre bore for the standard VW badge size.
Rather than the BBS VZ version which looks similar but are much cheaper.

Ok. The VZs are 18x8 ET44.

Sorry, delayed reply, been visiting Mickey Mouse and avoiding hurricanes. BBS wheels have a much larger centre cap unless you're buying OEM specced ones such as Pescaras. One good thing about BBS centre caps is that they don't suffer from the same whiteworm issues as OEM VW caps.

They are nice wheels, but the spokes are too short which makes them look dumpy.
For approximately £200 a set more, the BBS CKs are so much better looking. IMO.

There are also these that are advertised as 18x8, ET45 BBS VZ Alloys for £652.80.
