Title: Is it possible to get VW centre caps to fit the bore of BBS VZ033 wheels?

Love the wheels but trying to keep vaguely OEM look.

thanks
Ed

if not you could always use the originals and simply cover them with a vinyl version

hmmm... any examples? Worried that might look a little tacky.

obvious question also being where would I get the vinyls from to fit the BBS cap bore?

thanks

its just a black VW symbol over satin silver as standard correct? i would think ebay maybe?   :innocent:

i did the same for some porsche center caps a year or so ago, only difficulty is if the cap is slightly domed, in which case you need to apply heat to prevent any peeling because of the shape

think of it as a plan B  :happy2:
