Porsche 356 912 911 steel wheel disk brake hubcaps.

Welcome to the Madness known as replica Speedster ownership! The more the merrier.

I don't think those Porsche hubcaps will fit any VW wheels (and would hate to lose any of those P-caps on the road). As for authenticity, Speedster originally came with moon hubcaps. A lot of SOCers (myself included) have VW nipple hubcaps with Porsche crest (available for wide-5 or later 4-lug wheels).

Hope to see you at one of the SOC gatherings listed under the 'Events' thread. 

Thank you sir. Believe me, I won't be rolling out of the garage unless I'm damn sure it's on tight. Thanks for your help, I'm gonna do some thread research to see why my Weber is leaking? Only after I shut it off and then raw gas gathers on the bottom of the pump rod assembly. If you have any ideas, please point me to the right thread. Thanks again, if I can find a way to make those caps work, I'll be sure to share.

Try a search on this site for Weber (leaking, float level, pressure regulator). I understand that Webers are sensitive to fuel-line pressure (fuel pressure regulator settings) and needle-valves for float levels may need cleaning. I recall on some of the posts here its an easy fix.

I recalled old post on this -- wow from back in 2002!

Andy, you can mount real Porsche hubcaps on the 4-lug wheels but you have to modify the inner lip of the hubcap to work with the different type of hubcap retainer (wheel flanges as opposed to the Porsche riveted spring-clips). But then the 8 holes in the wheel are still not correct. I heard that Mangel once made the 4-lug wheels with the Porsche 10 hole perforation pattern but have been unable to verify that. I even emailed Mangel in Brazil about making some quanitiy of 4-lugs with the 10 holes but they never responded.
