Club 80-90 Forums

Hey guys, im new to the forum,
just a quickie, does anyone know if early Aircooled dome hub caps fit standard t25 steelies or do i need to go for the flat ones?

Welcome to the club Joe.

I'm pretty certain all standard T25 wheels are the same. The may have a variety of trims,and hub caps but still the same.

First, welcome Joe!

Early A/C van/beetle ones will not fit, although JK does an excelent line of domed wheel trims as well as the flat ones, you need to buy the ones that are dated 1971 to 1990, anything before that will not mount on the lugs on the wheels. I cannot vouch for the quality of the flat VW stamped caps but the 'baby moon' domed caps are superb quality, no pitting or rusting at all and at £9.50 a trim, you cant go wrong methinks.. Its what I'm running, with black painted wheels, S/steel outer trim rings and whitewalls!

cheers guys, they'l be sweet,

Fox McIntyre, love your van dude!

i'l get some pics up of me bus soon, shes my first T25 so shes a ratty one

thanks for the welcome guys

Cheers. trying to go for a semi rat, semi classic look. seems to be working. Got to get it repainted soon, got the paint now.. Show us some pics of yours if you can!

nice, what colour you going for?
mines matt black with red steelies and a silver roof. gotta get her sitting right to pull off the look properly, but got a leak from a push rod tube thats got a lil more prioity!

joe

possibly Black top half, bright red bottom half, or all red, not sure yet. but all in gloss cause I want to go ratty and retro with the accessories (spotlamps, rat-rack, Iron crosses, ect) but have the van itself looking quite clean. Nice contrast I recons. Black wheels for me with chrome trims and whitewalls. Need to get mine lowered, and with mucho wider tires too
