im new to the forums .
i want to fit 15'bbs rc to my golf cabriolet 1982.
the bolt holes will line perfectly up and will tighten but the centre piece on the recieving hub seems a little to big to recieve the centre of the alloy.
the car had 13' vw factory alloys fitted .
any one any idea what is wrong or how to rectify.

If they weren't fitted to a VW before then sounds either like the centre bore is for another car or are there any spigot rings fitted? They may not be too obvious but should tap out with the aid of a screw driver an hammer?
I know that The MAZDA MX5. wheel fitment had same bolt pattern as the Golf but centre bore was smaller so often aftermarket BBS wheels on those needed spigot rings fitting. I bought a set once, took the rings out and all was fine.

The bbs were bought from a guy -have no idea what they came off, but he said they were suitable for vw.
I will check out the few points you highlighted.
Thanks again.

Plus a close up of the centre and anything that's printed on them! 👍
