  1. Screenshot_20220524-145855_Google.jpg Will splitty/prototype bay domed hubcaps fit late bay wheels?
    I seem to remember that I bought a set some years ago & I got them to fit my 1972 Beetle by bending the edge a little to fit the 'humps' on the wheels (don't remember if I had to bend them in or out?).. and late bay hub caps are the same as late Beetle ones, so guess i should be able to get them to fit the same?
    Thx.

    Dome (baby moon) hubcaps made specifically for a late bay are available - google is your friend.
     
  3. Yes, I got some, although mine are not S/S so dent very easily, but you 20190328_170329.jpg can't get them with the vw logo any more.
     
  4. Just found a spare splitty hub cap in the garage & it won't fit. The hubcap rim is just too small to get it over the ridge around the wheel.
    There was a guy called Dubalicious who did late bay domed logo ones, but he's stopped doing them.. probably got shut down by vw for copyright infringement!
