Luckily enough the centre caps are just the standard 56mm ones that fit onto the common alloys such as Montreal II etc. Im changing mine over from the Audi ones to VW.

Cant stand one more person asking me why I have Audi wheels on my car.

cheers for that chewy.

Found some on ebay :D

Looking at dropping my car 35mm with these alloys on, are there any issues i should be aware of, such as rubbing and arch clearence?

if so what do you recomend?
