Steelie Centre Caps

[JuanVecino2023]

I’m looking to finish my winter wheel steelies with some sort of centre cap.

I’m not a fan of the large black hubcaps that they come with (pic 1)

I was hoping to add some VW logos to cover the bare axle in the middle (pic 2). I feel like I’ve seen this done on a Transporter somewhere?

Using something like pic 3.

I also looked for alternate options for my steelies, but ended up with those black saucers!

I was looking for some chrome center caps as came on old classic fiats and other cars ... But no luck.

It was important for me to cover all wheel nuts as I had taken off the security bolts and did not want to tempt anyone (not that it happens a lot now)

Though, to be fair, those saucers don't look too bad.

The vw caps wear the paint away and you have a nice rust ring.

Another reason to avoid. I’m sure I’ve seen a Transporter with those small VW logo caps just cover the axle.

Pic 3 are on Amazon for about £20.00 - clearly not Genuine.

But you can set of genuine VW ones for about £100 from VeeDub Transporters

I tried pic 3, have a genuine VW part number (for what that is worth), but they were about 1-2mm too big.

Thats frustrating!!!

Pic 3 is for one of the alloy wheels centre I think. It will have to be pic 1, until someone finds an alternative.

Maybe post on the t6 forum for people to post their steelie centre caps? Might give ideas on what is possible.

I seem to remember something about someone sanding down the centre caps and using silicone to hold them on. I personally wouldn't bother with that faff.
