Hi,

Excuse my naivety, but i have some repro chrome VW hubcaps (yep - i know they're gonna rust) but how is the best way to secure them so they do not A) fly off when i'm driving, or B) get robbed ? I see there are 4x small holes on each cap - do i just run some screws/bolts through them, and if so, what would be the correct size/length?

Advice appreciated..

Cheers fellas,

been years since I have had steelies, but im sure there were springs on the wheels to hold um on ?

The repro caps just knock onto the standard T25 rims ... the holes are for some pathetic ring-pull things to pull them off again when they've decayed away after 3 months.

Nope, they just click onto the bulges on the wheel - and they're _rock_ solid. Or, at least, ours are. They take a fair old levering to remove - the end of a claw hammer seems to be the easiest tool.
