well that escalated quickly.


I recently put stock clip caps on a rally wheel by trimming the clip cap a little and welding a cheap rally cap to it. worked great.






for your case, you have clip caps and nub wheels. you might be able to order clips to drill and screw to the center portion of the wheel and that will let the clip caps fit. do a search on ebay for VW hubcap clips, sometimes you can get 20 for under 15 bucks. then you measure, mark, spin the wheel with a marker so its a true circle, drill and attach.

also, there is a guy who modifies caps and wheels, may not be cheap but his website is thewheelsmith.net
