Title: Edition 30 Genuine Centre caps
Post by: Trunkstuff on January 11, 2017, 11:41:34 pm

Had a browse through the forum but cannot find anything recent and still relevant.

I'm after some genuine centre caps for my standard ED30 wheels. Can anyone link me to someone reputable.

Thanks

Don't pay any attention to what they say on that ebay listing, the XRW part WILL corrode, mine did. I bought some cheap ones off amazon and gave them a few coats of clear lacquer before fitting, 6 months later still look great. Might be an idea to do the same with the genuine caps if you must have genuine.

I put some new VW ones in my wheels 2.5 years ago and they're still as new.  Lacquering them is a good idea though!

On 17" monzas are they 65mm centres?

Don't know the part numbers, but will vouch for the seller in the link. Silverwagen have been good over 3 or 4 deals.
