Having just spent the equivalent of the national debt having my lovely BBS wheels and centre caps refurbished and fitting them with superb new toyo rubber, I'm paranoid about my metal centre caps getting nicked. So my car looks shite parked outside with my centre caps sitting safely on the kitchen sides.

Still awake?

So, if I buy a set of shite plastic (E34) caps on ebay will they fit my wheels and enable me to sleep sound at night safe in the knowlege that any thieves in the night will only get a loot bag full of plastic tat?

That way I can be super sad and save my metal caps for Birthdays and Christmas.

They won't fit as they come, but if you cut off all the plastic that sticks out of the back, you will have a disc that fits the 15" BBS E30 wheel, but no way of holding it on.
A bit of silicon rubber should suffice.
