Audi Centre Caps 'Made to a size' (BBS fit)
« on: April 13, 2014, 11:55:22 am »
I need some Audi centre caps that will fit my BBS CK's. I don't mind where they're made or from as long as they look genuine enough.

I've tried a few sources to make some OEM Audi sets I had fit and the majority are too small.

I've got OEM BBS CK's in 18x8J so does anyone know where I can get some Audi centre caps (reps are fine provided they appear OEM) made to the factory BBS centre cap size? I think the rear clip on the BBS caps is 64mm and the front disc is around 70mm.

Happy to spend a bit more on a set, been looking for a while now.

Thanks guys.
Pete

Anyway I can make them practically fit and removable on the rare occasion I'll need to, any backing plates or centre cap support parts?

Never seen any. I've BBS wheels with the same Cap size and have been EVERYWHERE on the Internet  for VW caps and not found any, also never saw any Audi ones in he same fitment.

I know chief, I think we're both on the same unicorn hunt...

Didn't quite a few people find VW centre caps that fitted the OEM BBS VZ's, which are essentially BBS CH's?

....Which I thought used the same centre cap size as BBS CK, and possibly other genuine BBS wheels?  :popcornsoda: :rolleye:

I've a set of BBS VZ's and they are 70mm, same as the CK's. Not found any VW caps for those.

Devil's advocate here but BBS carry at least as much kudos as VW or Audi and there is a huge history of VAG group using BBS wheels for special models so I've always preferred to keep my BBS wheels with BBS caps on.
(Plus the BBS caps don't get whiteworm like VW caps!)

^^^ True but it's also nice to keep the "appearance" of OEM wheels. Saying that I did spend £135 on 4 Red/Gold BBS caps a couple of years ago for my BBS VZ's, now they're cool as fek.

Gap in the market, clearly... Hope someone bites on it.

Which ones Jay, do you mean plain caps with a sticker style emblem?
If so, they look rubbish and have none of the perspective or granularity that OEM ones have  :sad1:
