Edition 30 centre caps size??
« on: June 06, 2019, 01:02:47 pm »
As above what size are they ?
Is it a matter of brute force to get them off ?
Where can i buy them at a reasonable price ?

Cant remember size of the top of my head. If the wheels off then you just tap them off from behind. If not, they are a bit of a barstewards. I was replacing mine so I just punched a screwdriver through each one and levered them out.

If you're after genuine replacements most dealers will have them on the shelf for a reasonable price. There are no genuine BBS replacements that fit so most people just buy the domed stickers off eBay and stick them over the originals.

Why don't you remove one and measure it?

Only place for caps for your Pescara's is the main dealer. They're 65mm face and 55mm rear and only come in the standard Black/Silver. Part number is 3B7601171XRW and fit the Monza's too.

I got cheap eBay ones, they lasted no time at all unfortunately.

Had to bite the bullet and get genuine ones, which was close to £50

i thought I'd let you all know, i ordered the above mentioned caps albeit cheapies or not and they didn't fit.. turns out i don't have Pescara's from the Edition 30 and i have OEM A3 alloys (almost identical to the Pescara's) spoke with a guy from PW Motorsport about BBS caps to fit and basically, although they are genuine wheels, they are OEM made by BBS (i know a lot of you may know that) so i can only get Audi centre caps. BBS centre caps are only available for aftermarket BBS wheels. When i say aftermarket i mean not OEM and genuine BBS.
i have managed to find some plastic universal centre caps on the bay for £6 so I'm going to buy them and then buy the £8.99 70mm BBS Stickers from the bay. (would rather all that than the Audi logo on a Golf GTI)  :happy2:
