Where to buy BBS center caps?

Some ahole stole my center caps on 04 sti wheels. It bugs me to look at them in their naked state. Wondering where I can pick up a new set. Please let me know. Also, what kind of ballpark am I looking at for price? TIA - Sean

That's actually an excellent price. They often go for $60+ on Ebay, and that's not including shipping.

Also, they must have used some kind of suction tool (unless they didn't care for damaging them up and use a screwdriver, knife, etc). I tried to remove mine, and they aren't easy to remove.

What the hell. Someone stole my BBS centercaps last year, too. I had to buy mine for $60 on eBay. $50's a good deal.

Ironic as it sounds, I'll bet a good percentage of transactions are exactly that.

Nowadays, thieves are car enthusiasts, too. They know where to lurk and what the demands are.

Forums such as this is a gift to fellow enthusiasts, but also a double-edged sword; serving to scumbags looking to make a quick buck off of good folks.
