Around £50 new
£25+ used seems to be the norm....

Traders on here are good...

Ebay - £25-£40 each. Anything cheaper is probably not an E30 15" BBS fitment .
Be aware, lots of scummers try and pass off E34 plastic caps as E30 correct. they are NOT ! Though rumour has it, some Tigerseal ,cable ties and a few wood screws gets them on :)

If you live in an area where they're likely to go missing, E34 caps at the right price, a bit of trimming and a large dollop of silicon sealant is the way to go.
Silicon sealant allows them to be twisted off with the standard removal tool.

At the current prices being realised, you can understand why the scrotes nick them. I only put mine on if taking it out to a meet or something, otherwise they live in the boot!

With the E34 ones, is the central plastic "nut" part of the centre cap the same? As on my 4 centre caps, the metal bits are fine and refurbed with my wheels but the idiot that shot blasted my wheels for refurb blasted the plastic centres too 8O

I drive without them but would be nice to have the set built up again. (Talking 15x7, not 14", like the OP)

E34 are one piece of plastic, apart from the sticker.
