I need to replace the dinged fuch wheel caps on my 2.0L. I'd like to replace them with NOS but they're hard to find. Are the aftermarket caps currently available a close match that I can get by with until I find originals? If so who makes the best / most accurate?

I was finally able to replace the current center wheel caps that I bought from 914Rubber with the new polished version and they look great....very close to the original in appearance. I'll be selling old ones on the FS threads.

Very nice. They look just like my original caps which I bought new a few year ago. The wheel bolts look great also - how did you refurbish them?

They've held up very well. I just have to be careful when removing the wheels.....the plating can scratch very easily. |
