ED30 wheels centres...
« on: October 26, 2012, 05:40:40 am »
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,
J

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

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

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

No they are the original VW centres. As said the BBS centres don't fit despite the Pescara's being BBS wheels.

I probably did about 10k or so with them.

I will take some pictures and you can make your own mind up.

Best place (if not from Hedge) is from the VW main dealer, set of 4 about £30 ish.

Pretty sure the part number is  3B7 601 171 XRW
