R99 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Hi Guys,Recently back on the forum after a spell away once I sold my Lupo GTI. Now a MINI Clubman owner, but back on the forums browsing Anyway....I will putting a deposit down on a set of BBS RC 323's (17 x 7.5J ET35) and I'll be getting them delivered in the next few weeks I much prefer the look of the wheel without the big bulky cap on it. The concave area where the bolt holes are looks much better. However, I'm not a fan of the centre hole being exposed....So my question is, can you just buy a smaller generic BBS centre cap and use that instead?? If so what size cap would I need??I see its been done, but sadly I have nothing more than a picture Really hoping someone can help me out here.......Just to give you an idea, here is a photoshop of them on my car in the colour I'll be getting them refurbished in, so thinking red and gold BBS centres would look mint....

R99 Posted June 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Sadly, I'm not sure as I haven't bought the wheels yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiea7x Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 from that tape measure they look roughly 55mm'ish although if theyre mini fitment will be 56.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 The hole on the front is usually around 55mm regardless of the centre bore at the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R99 Posted June 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 They are VW fitament....Just got no clue at all what size cap to order as some people saying the face of the cap is different in terms of mm than the rear of the cap??
