Matt, A friend of mine "lost" a center caps off his 911 and has gone through the same dilemma. Suffice it to say, it is not cheap. He had custom ones with the Porsche coat of arms on it and he went to a rim dealer and they CAN order new ones, but again, mucho casho (I think around $100 for new ones with just BBS not- and then he had to get the custom coat of arms pressed on as well). Only thing I can tell you is go to a specialty wheel shop that is a BBS dealer or to BBS direct (where they will most likely send you to a dealer) and see if they can order the part. Again, a lot of bucks.

Some chicken shit fuck stole 2 of my center caps some time last week. The bastard only stole the 2 from the side of the car that doesnt face my house just to be sure no one saw him. Anyways, While picking up some new dash bulbs, I asked the parts guy at the stealer if they could get new center caps. He produced a sheet showing all the different wheels offered on 92 "golfs" as he called them. The wheels I have are the 16V 3 piece BBS 15 x 6.5 ones with all the little studs around the outer lip. His piece of paper showed a wheel that looked like mine, but the only center cap piece it showed was the very center octagonal shaped piece (that probably said BBS), the fuck that stole mine took all 3 pieces of the center cap. The center octagonal piece, the plastic piece that the octagonal "BBS" piece fits into and the outer metal (painted to match) trim piece. So I dont think the stealer is gonna be able to get me new center caps. He gave me the typical dumbass look and said "uh....maybe they were a dealer added option" I know they're a factory wheel, but I wasnt gonna argue. Will I be better off going to a BBS dealer like the Tire Rack?, can I contact BBS directly? am I just screwed? Also, is there a style these rims go by? RS RT RW or something? if anyone needs pics, let me know, I can go out into the lot here at work and snap whatever you need. Thanks Matt 92 8V GTi Los Angeles P.S. Sorry for all the F-bombs, but I hate fuckers who steal shit just because. I serioulsy doubt whoever stole them is going to actually use them. _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
