    Heres a rather poor quality picture of the centers with a VW logo on them they were on my GTD though I only got 3 as it had been in a mild OSF shunt wich knacked the wheel and so I didnt get a cap for that wheel

    anyway I'll post a new picture and part numbers tommorow they also did a cap with a small bagde towards the edge of the cap (my Jetta had a set)

    Balls! [:^(]

    Got the caps today and they don't fit :clap:

    I use the longer wheel bolts supplied with my Ronal Turbos on all my wheels as I have spacers on the rear to clear the springs on the FK coilovers

    The radius of the bolt is larger than the gap in the cap [:x]

    G_V_K, using whell spacers in the rear,doesn't make your car act weird!?being the back larger the the front...and another thing.did you roll the fenders!?my car,with et37 15x7 wheels with 205/50R15 rubs in the back...
    using your black rims to the track,and steelies on the road,is something i can't understand...i love your black rims...i have a photo at night,that is just the best a2 pic i have!!!
    white a2, if you don't whant your BBS rims,send them to me!!

    Hidro- the black rims need repainting as the dust from the Hawk blue race pads I use has ermm, 'ruined them slightly' :lol:

    So they will be used on the track :)

    Only use 3mm spacers which is no different to using ET32 wheels, so no adverse effects.

    I use 195/50 tyres and they never rub. :)

    ET37 wheels are further under the arch than a lower number ET , ET15 for instance REALLY sit proud of the arch :)

    humm,then it shouldn't rub like it is,right!?even with the 205/50R15...
    i was thinking of getting 195/50R15 cause it rubs,and are a litle bit cheaper.
    about the spacers,wich is the wider i can get,to not rub!?spacers just in the back help handling!?
