    Just a plug: I don't have these wheels anymore and I've still got a set of these centrecaps. They're black with gold lettering, genuine BBS items. I have all 4 and they haven't been fitted! Interested?

    This is a set of four factory center caps for BBS RE, RC, RE style wheels.

    Yeah those won't fit the RS.



    A = 70mm
    B = ~57mm

    Notice the three prongs around the 57mm diameter circle. These are the only ones that fit RS. RM I'm not sure, I think they use a different mechanism. Hang on let me find the huge BBS thread on Vortex.

    Edit: pages worth of information, pics, and Vortex bull**** on BBS RS. http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=1022742

    Oh, and found another useful site - http://www.purems.com/products/produ...=10&II=77&_cid - you want the ones under style B

    Yeah the centre hex nut looks similar to the BBS RS one... though sizing is crucial here.

    I know you're probably excited and want to order as much as you can for the Cabrio rebuild, but my advice would be to have a bit of patience and wait until the wheels arrive before looking into centre caps. Then you can take a few measurements from your wheels and go from there

    I've got some BBS RS and they use a 70mm centre cap as pictured below:






    The diameter of the hole in the hex nut for the badge is 52mm. Check your wheels when they arrive
