The British introduced the knock-off years ago. By unscrewing these knock-offs, the wheel is loosened. For our classic Volkswagen, this accessory is now also available.
These knock-offs, which exist in 2- or 3-spoke versions, are fixed to the wheel hub by means of sleeve bolts, the spokes can be loosened to change a wheel. To be on the safe side, the knock-off is fixed in such a way that it cannot come off while driving. For the left front wheel, the raised edges of the hub cap must be filed down, otherwise the wheel cannot be mounted.
In some cases, it is not possible to mount it on the wheel hub because the diameter of the hole in the hub cap does not allow it, even in this case, it can be mounted on the rim by turning the cap instead of mounting it on the outside of the wheel hub against the rim from the inside.
These knock-offs fit on original VW wheels without hubcaps and on most sport rims.
The knock-offs are chrome plated and come with an Allen key.
The minimum space required in the hole of the hub cap is 61.5 mm in diameter.
