They are for the standard wheels so will work for the BBS Pescara's on the Edition 30 but if they are genuine BBS CH's (not 'standard' fitment) they will not fit as the centre cap on these is bigger.

Argh crap, I think mine are CH, maybe I should of done more research first on the wheels thread.. doh! I’ve got some on now by previous owner and they’re crap. They’re too small.

Just to confirm, Rob you’re absolutely right! Unfortunately I had already ordered the eBay ones on the above part number, but as I have CH wheels they didn’t fit as expected! The outer face was actually a huge amount bigger than the crap ones from previous owner but was still a couple of mm too small but would have worked....

The only downside to the caps for my wheels... is the bit that clips inside the wheel is too small..!! So they wobble around and can pull out easy! I need to research and get the perfect size for my CH!

A little insulating tape wrapped round the clips will stop them from slipping out and help them grip/hold onto the wheel.  :happy2:

I did think of something like that, along the lines of plumbers tape but I’d prefer to get the perfect fit “fit and forget” kinda thing lol
