I'll have to pull them off tomorrow and see if they have a part number. Thanks for the info!

I suspect they may be repos if they don't fit.

I bought a beautiful set from a VW specialist and they where a little too tight. When I called him he sold me a second set that was too small and hits the front bearing cap.

Email sent to Micky914 as there site says they are not in stock.

Actually I did a run of them last week, and have 20 sets in stock. Sometimes I forget to update the inventory. These are good to go. I have actually been making improvements on the program that the are now identical to the OEM profile.

If you ever see something is out of stock, just drop me a PM or email, I can tell you for sure. The site will allow back orders, but they may not actually be out.

Yup. I bought a set from Brad at 914LTD and yes they are about 1/8" too small.

Seems the knockoff (Fachs) holes are around 2 5/8"and these are 2 1/4" ??...I can get an exact measurement.

There are really no decent caps available for the Fachs.

Mark, it would be ideal if you could stamp these for the Fachs too? I anticipate you would sell a lot. Not all of us can find and afford real Fuchs.

I just measured my wheel and cap to see what the difference was...

Wheel hole 2 1/2'
Cap 2 1/4"

On the back of the wheel itself there is a Porsche part number. I don't think the re-pops have anything resembling a part number on the back....


Checked my wheels today and there is no part number on the back, only the size of the rim. So I guess I am going to have to either rig up some way to get them to stay.

Does anyone have suggestions or experience from doing this for their wheels caps?

I'm sure you can find some kind if aftermarket to use, what did the knock offs come with? I bet you can find some.
Ill check I did make a few sets of various sizes, but I think I'm out of these.

When I bought the car there were no caps at all. If you had a set I would love to pick them up from you.
