Hi. I'm looking for a set of 4 excellent condition early beetle hubcaps. I don't know enough to tell you the exact year so I've added a pic of a friends car to show what I want.
They're much deeper than the '70 hubcaps my car currently has but they still fit on the 15 inch 4 stud wheels.

I'm also after at least 2 pairs of beam adjusters to suit ball joint beetle front ends.

Thanks for any help.

you have post 67 wheels on the car in the pic so you need flat hubcaps to suit
What the wheels you have fitted to the car

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

Hi vw54. The car in the pic is a semi auto '68 and used to have the flat hubcaps. The owner put these hubcaps on. My car is a '70 and has the exact same wheels as this car does. I don't really like the look of the flat hubcaps so want to change like in the pic.
Thanks.

Oh, and if the wheel in the pic looks a little different, it's because I changed the offset to narrow the front track due to drop spindles.

Here's a pic of the wheels (same as mine) before the early hubcaps went on. They just clipped straight on.
