There was NICE pair of original caps on The Samba last week. Otherwise I think ISP makes some nice repros.

Saw those, they are sold already. Too late and there was only two.  Thx.  Whats the actual www address for ISP?  Can I use the lugs I am running on the 8 spokes?  Or will I be needing different length lugs for the 2.0's?

Hi Worm if you have Discs you can use the 914 2.0 Lugs if you have Drum Brakes you have to use the 914 Steel wheel lugs or stud your drums  the 2.0 lugs are two long  on the rear they hit the brake shoe springs the long ones will work with discs you other problem is if you are putting them on your vert  the rear cap wont fit they hit the axle nut if you Remember my 69 Ghia I had 2.0 wheels on it with the factory caps but I had to Stud the rear drums and run a 1/2 wheel spacer to fit them the good part is the 2.0 wheel dont have much offset so the fit under the fenders even with the spacers

Thanks Gary.  Wow, thats a lot of trouble.   I do have disc's up front.  No issue there.  Guess I pick up 8 2.0 lug nuts for up front. Or I stud the disc's and run the alloy nuts eh?   Now...... the rear.  I get that the lugs are too long for the drums (did not know that).  So, I can find the steel "X" 914 wheel lugs and they will work?  Cool.  I suppose I could find them somewhere.  And NOW.... where do I find a spacer?  I have not done any of the this sh*t in so long.  I do appreciate your help.  What if I just studded the drums and disc's?  Problem solved?  Other than the cap hitting the axle nut?  I stud and install a spacer, Im done.... right?  Wow.  Where do I buy a spacer?  Studs?  Lug nuts help  Shit

Found the "right" lugs and I'm told no need for a spacer (can be had at CB Perf).  We'll see.  The wheels are at the polisher and will be ready with caps by friday.

Hopefully I bolt and go.  There is some tricky shit out there now, compared to the "old" days.

Amazing.

Hey Anthony,
Yeah Randy got me/you all hooked up on the caps.  Randy says he will have them in his hands on friday and I will pop in at his house on my way to the polisher's.  That way on friday I will have caps (Randy) and polished wheels.  Thanks for your help!!!!!
