    I recall Tire Rack has the emblems, but not the entire assembly. I'm assuming you're talking about the older BBS RG that looks like a stock basketweave. As for the entire centercap you may be on your own on that one...

    eBay also has the emblems readily available and they're pretty cheap compared to the other places I've looked. But that is just for emblems, not caps.

        yea i know getting the emblem that says 'BBS' isnt too hard, but not even the stock basket weave center cap assembly will work which sucks cuz i could find those im sure, i think im might bring them down to a BMW dealership and see what they can find on their system if possible.

              Just to let you know the old RG's were forged so they were couple of pounds lighter than RZ's and OEM 15" wheels.

              Nice fine as they were very pricey in the day. Over 1800 from tire rack.

                yea when i found out i was amazed, and now im thinking of just making them my track rims as they are lighter, but the offset doesn't allow the car to be really low as they are on an mk2 jetta.

                  I've got the same wheels on my 318 but unfortunately won't be able to run them once I upgrade the brakes. How many center caps do you need? I've got 3.

                    all 4, and they are specific to these wheels, ive tried the centre caps from the OEM 15inch wheels, the ones with no lip.... and they dont seem to work.

                      Yeah, I went through the same thing when I found out what these wheels were 2 years ago. They're extremely rare and finding info about them, much less parts, is next to impossible. I actually really like the way they look without the caps, luckily. Not to mention these wheels are very, very light. I'm most likely going to refinish mine and sell the set this spring. Just need one more center cap to complete it...

                        yea, i mean with my luck the caps will probably get jacked, but id like a complete look to them, but they do give a pretty good motorsports look to them. ill just run some rear spacers and rake the car out a little and rock them for the next little while.
