pics - work?? - 17" BBS rims & caps from 15" Converitlbe rims

Ok, would the "mazda" centercaps off the 15" Convertible BBS wheels work on these 17" BBS versions?

I'd love to get larger rims, but keep the OEM centercaps:

8Jx17-H2-ET35 - 5 bolt pattern

Are the stock center caps no different other than the sticker in the middle?

If thats the case then you can buy replacement emblems and swap them out on the new rims. (assuming you can't swap them for thread pitch or cap diameter reasons)

hmm, do you have the rims and want to know if the vert caps will work? or are you looking at buying the rims for your vert?

The reason I ask is, if you have the rims, if you take a pic of the back side of the center cap, and also the "ring" in the center of the rim from an angle, I could compare to my vert rims.

I've been wondering about this for a while also.

Yeah I'm looking to buy these rims from BBS, but I haven't seen them in person. I already have the 14" vert wheels.

I think the vert wheels are 5 lug, but I can't remember offhand.

Thanks

the vert rims are 15x6.5 5 lug. I believe they are 114 x 5 bolt pattern. There are a bunch of different 5 lug bolt patterns, so you need to make sure that is correct.

Also, I don't know much about offsets, but that is important too.

Oooooooo I like 'em.

1) Are those new wheels or used ones?

2) so they make them to fit 5 lug FC's?

3) How much, how much, how much?

oh yea, that'd work. If anything- you can pop off the black circles out of the actual cap and use it on the new ones...
