they still come with BBS wheels, I bought hubs right from BBS, was pretty reasonable and they shipped quickly.

send BBS a email and they will get back to you.

What hubs? He's talking about the center caps. If that's what you meant, how much did you pay through BBS?

Keep searching on ebay, that's where I got mine. They don't come cheap. I paid between $30-50 each depending on the auction (bought a couple, then the other two separately). I've seen them go for much higher when people go apeshit and keep bidding against each other.

Also, they tend to disappear off people's wheels, so I don't keep them on my wheels. They go on only on special occasions, and only when I'll have the car in view ALL the time. You've been warned.

I thought he was talking about valve caps! im sharing my good transaction that I had with BBS earlier this year, I needed a part, emailed them and they responded right away, 3 days later I had my rings.
My wheels have BBS valve caps- thats what I thought he needed.

So its safe to say that getting some valve caps would be just as pain free and easy.
If he is talking about center caps- well then I dont know but it almost seems more worth it to buy a whole set of wheels and get the caps because seems that the going rate for center caps is about $40 or so.
I wonder if some Ford caps would fit and you can have a sign shop make you up a decal for the center?

ya i figured i might as well get a whole set of wheels just for the hell of it anyways. Apex auto parts said he has a set of wheels so i'm going to see if he'll part with the caps if not i'll probably just buy the wheels.

you could probably sell off the wheels with no caps, people who just want light wheels dont care about the caps anyhow
