Can't begin to tell you how pleased I was to find 3 of these in the boot of the donor car I bought for the auto to manual swap. Recouped 20% of the outlay for the whole car!
Going rate then was about £70 each. Outrageous really but people want them and you can't get 'em.

I can explain it, but I can't understand it for you.

Some of us just have an OEM fetish and nothing else will do.

My wife got me these one Christmas. I believe they were over £150 from the USA.

For that price I'd expect them to stay the right way up, a la RR

The most expensive part of BBS alloys is the centre cap... As without a genuine centre cap you may as well just have some fakes.

Previously I had the Mazdaspeed centre cap and a Punisher centre cap. I also wrapped the cap in a carbon wrap.
