nipple hubcaps | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

Hi, Is anyone sure if nipple hubcaps used on beetles and 356s will fit correctly on four bolt wheels used on many of our repicas, or can they be made to fit with some judicious bending? I know there are two sizes, but am

unsureif they are interchangeable. I did a search but could not find a definite answer.

Thanks ,Tom

Tom - the older VW & 356's had wide-five (bolt) wheels. You need to buy nipple caps specifically for the 4-bolt wheels. The two are not interchangeable!

The emblem is the Porsche emblem, but does not have the word Porsche on it.
