Hubcap Mounting Kit (GW Steel Wheels)

Introduction

Give your vintage van the vintage look with original-style VW chrome hubcaps! This kit allows you to install chrome hubcaps on our current model 15″ steel wheels for 1971-79 Type II Bus, and all 1980-91 Vanagon models.

Follow the simple installation instructions and snap your hubcaps into action! Hubcaps, Trim Rings & 15″ Steel Wheels sold separately.

Note: In order to use this kit you MUST have GoWesty 15″ Steel Wheels with the correct mounting holes as shown in the photo. Get yours here.

Pro tip: All hub caps vary in size and are not always perfectly round.If your caps are fitting too tight or too loose, the first thing to do is rotate them about a about a turn at a time and try again. The cap might fit better in another orientation. If that does not work, next step is to loosen hub cap clips one at a time and press on them toward the center of the wheel (for too-tight caps), or toward the outside (for too loose caps) and hold them there while tightening the clips. Repeat this to additional clips if the fit is still not right. If that is not enough adjustment for your caps, you can use a round file to slightly elongate the hole in the wheel in/out as needed. A very little bit of movement makes a surprisingly big difference in hubcap fit.
