You would need to try the hubcaps

I remember a fellow who had early hubcaps on late wheels.

He said German and Brazillian both fitted...
but fitted differently....??

they are slightly different sizes.... lol

I had a nice new late model Brazillian or Mexican hubcap here...
but there was no way it would fit on My wheels....

I dented it trying to fit it....

cheers
