Hubcap Selection | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

Does anyone here have the 4 lug 10 slot rims sold by Beck Special Edition on their cars? If so, which hubcaps have you been able to get to fit on the rim other than the C Style hubcap Carey sells?

I'm buying the 10 slot rims from Tom Williams and I'm looking for hubcap options.

I have an early set that fit any baby moon, but their current ones are a bit different and look like the ones from the later, disk brake 356B and C cars. The Beck caps would fit those, but not sure if anything else would. Obviously talking to Carey (@chines1) would be your best bet.

Analiese had nice hubcaps, but kept losing them...

Carey and I emailed each other a few times already but he's a busy guy and I don't want to keep him from working on Anand's Spyder. I was originally looking for baby moons but Carey said those won't fit. He mentioned the issue with the notch softening and not holding the baby moons. He has the C Style caps and they will fit the rims using the clips.

I was just wondering what others have done, or if they've done anything different for hubcaps, if they're not using the C style caps on the 4 lug 10 slot rims Carey sells.

Robert,

Your car has 4 lug wheels?! I'm not sure I knew that about you. Way to make it awkward between us... Weirdo.

I used to follow Analiese around - collecting nipple hub caps - she called the cops and claimed I was stalking her! LOL
