Mine have got the dreaded white worm so need replacing.. Rather than getting more VW ones, is it possible to get original BBS centres? If so, where could I get them from?
Cheers,

The BBS and VW centre caps are different sizes and hence the former will not fit.

I have a set of 4.

That's good.. Should I assume you're selling them? will they fit my ed30 wheels? Are they original BBS centres or copies?
