Replica Rudge knock off center caps for VW 4 lug wheels

I've seen these caps around....They fit on the VW 4 lug wheels...With these center caps and the larger spacing of the cut outs on the 4 lug wheels, you end up with a fairly nice copy of the factory Rudge Knock offs that were offered on original Speedsters.

WHERE can I get a set?????

Like so? or looking for the tri-spoke? Ebay is where I picked mine up.

I worked out an unconvincing version using a set of aluminum drum covers and faux knock-offs. I picked up a set of real two bar Triumph knocks-off this past Winter for a better look.

Sorta/kinda neat looking . . . but no where near a Rudge.

Pete Van Rossum did a fairly convincing job using the spinners and some small pizza pans - no, seriously. It actually looked good and worked well too. I'll see if I can find a picture.

EDIT: Found one, but the matte black paint makes it a bit tough to see details. I'll keep looking.

Pete's look GREAT!!! I'd buy a set of he's selling 'em.

YO PETE, YOU OUT THERE?!?!?!?!?!

If he answers, he can provide instructions. It sounded really easy, but I don't remember how he said he did it.

I sent him a PM. Hopefully he'll respond.

Here ya go!

I will take one of and add some photos of how it is done.

Thanks Pete!!!!

Ok I started with a pizza pan the diameter at the bottom needs to be around 7 3/8 so it fits in the wheel I cut the bottom of the pan drilled a hole in the center to fit the spinner ,I got the spinner's from CIP1 , then I welded 1/4 -20 studs to my lug nut directly in the center .Drilled 1/4 inch holes in a perfect circle around the middle of the dish 12 times 4 of these holes hold the cap to the studs .I used stainless steel cap nuts 8 of the twelve are dummies short 1/4 20 bolts just to hold the nuts . takes a while to do all four wheels good luck.

Thanks Pete!!

Nice!
