Wheel center caps - what size / part number.
« on: February 21, 2010, 09:00:56 pm »
Hi All
Just wondering what size wheel center caps you need for Monza II 18"?
Seem to be 58mm or 62mm not sure what to ask for.
Thanks in advance.
Lee

p.s. If anyone know the part number even better.

Finding BBS caps to fit the Monza's is extremely difficult - Nothing BBS had got would fit when myself and others looked and asked about a year or so ago.

Typical.
Thanks for the info.
May go down the route of some blank caps and BBS decals.
eBay here I come.

I got a mate to make me some plain carbonfibre ones for my Monza's. But I got nice OZ wheels with their own carbon centrecaps now.

.........they make some of the wheels for VW so you would think they would make some caps for them ?. Having said that i replaced the centre caps on my edition 30 alloys last week & they look really good again now the ''white'' worm has gone.

Hi Gene,

Yes, you really would think that BBS wheels might have some conformity of centrecap sizes but alas, no. I was amazed in a very disappointing way when I first spotted white worm on my plastic centrecaps - It was extremely unexpected.

........you could try mate. If BBS did make the centre caps they would be a hell of a lot more than 7 quid.  :happy2:
