The silver outer part should be metal - its the centre bit thats plastic.

£20 for 4 is dirt cheap if they're in good nick.

15" bbs centre caps sell from around £15-£25 each one depending on condition usually on the zone... Well, thats what they are priced between when listed, whether they sell or not is a different matter.

Ebay always seems to see them go above £25 for rubbish condition ones too when at auction.

With a little trimming off the diameter, and all the stuff projecting out the back cut off, these will fit E30 15" BBS, albeit stuck on with silicon rubber.
A complete bodge, but looks OK, and much less of a loss if they are stolen.

Seen them go for £100 but chuck in an extra £70-£100 and you can get yourself a set of 4 bbs alloys aswell.... :mad:

I sold my last set for around £55 which needed a refurb tbh.
