Unfortunately you can't get them. I've been down this road before. I've got VW ones on my Pescy's.

There are no genuine BBS caps that will fit on the Pescara's strange as that seems.  :sad1:

Price of a set of VW caps is about £30 and Size is 65mm outside and 55mm inside IIRC. Pretty sure part number your after is....

did you buy the other set of wheels from the A4 pescaras that i linked?

those don't accept the BBS centre caps either. the part number above is correct

Yeah I bought the other set.

I thought they were identical to the VZ which have the BBS centre cap

not quite. the A4 set is made by BBS for Audi, but it is an Audi part. you can only buy them new from Audi, not from BBS. the offset is slightly different (ET43 for the Audi, ET44 for the VZs). the style is very similar though.

as above, only VAG centre caps will fit. if you have Monzas at the minute your centre caps are a straight swap.

The above part number centre caps are the same as my old monza wheels and they clip in but they are loose in the hole and can hear them rattle at low speeds any other centre caps that fit?

Part number on my Edition30 centre caps are 3B7 601 171, I've just checked for you as there in a box in the cupboard. I replaced them with the newer ones I listed before.

Hmmm that's same as mine.

The last 3 letters are the colour code.

Maybe the I need the Audi ones to get it to fit

It clips in fine just it's loose when it's in it s position

I'd try an Audi dealer and find the correct size and go from there. At least you'd know the right size then. You may be able to find some VW caps (OEM or aftermarket) or even BBS (copies) to fit.
