OK so I bought a set of s/h unused domed hub caps with the vw logo on.

They are pattern ones.

2 seem fine - but 2 just dont seem to fit and actually come off 10 yards after you start moving.

is this a common problem?

Also I suspect I may have inadvertantly bought a set for early beetle / bus with large PCD wheels as the pressing kinda goes in slightly, bit like a mushroom? anyone know the difference?

If anyone has had the problem and solved it - whats the trick!?

ah - just answered my own question... they are the early type for the clip wheels on pre 67 beetles & pre 70 busses - oops.

Oh well back on e bay with them!

Mine do that too, funny,, they are now dimpled from smacking em on so hard. bloody things.....
