Installed my new aluminum wheel caps today from 914rubber. WOW! These really look sharp! The old ones were dented from tire changing monkeys. My crest stickers were mismatched red/yellow and red/gold. Two stickers fell off on my last tire change. I decided I like the clean look of no crests. Also, I tossed my wheel bolts back in my media tumbler. I really need to hit them with some clear paint so they don't rust again. Some chrome lugs are on my wish list too. Before and after pics. Enjoy!
Car is sitting a little high in the back since I just dropped it down off the jack. Attached thumbnail(s) |

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

I suspect they may be repos if they don't fit. 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. Cheers! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) |
