Love my Porsche replica wheels but the center caps are a different size than my old Atheros wheels.

I would be willing to do a VW sticker over the cap but they are concave and indented with the Porsche shield shape.

Anyone figure out how to get VW caps on Porsche wheels?

That's strange as my VW caps fitted my Porsche OEM 18" wheels perfectly.

Are the Vw caps smaller? Can you measure your replica wheel to see what ID cap size it needs?

Same here. VW caps on Porsche 18" wheels. No problem.

It's that time .... Spring time! Even though it's not too warm, it seems to be nice enough so I put the Carrera wheels back on. Love how different a set a wheels can make the Treg Look. Anyone else have Porsche wheels on their Treg??

I'm in the same boat. When I bought these wheels they were spray painted black and the black Porsche cap didn't bother me that much. I waited until I needed new tires to get them powder coated and now the black cap and Porsche logo stand out quite a bit.

Ideally I'd like to find a VW cap or sticker that fits. My best idea at this point is buying the 70mm VW caps linked on the last page, sanding the back smooth, and adhering them to the Porsche caps. I wouldn't be totally opposed to a Porsche cap in a matching color, but silver is too light and the charcoal is too dark. It appears metal caps that could be powder coated to match don't exist.

Think about it this way, when purchasing aftermarket wheels it's typical to leave the aftermarket center cap on the wheel (ie. BBS, OZ, etc.). What's the difference with leaving the Porsche cap on the Porsche wheel? It's not like adding a Cayenne badge to the back of the Touareg or an M3 badge on a 328i.

Finish Line wheels

Suggest you look to FinishLinewheels.com . Bought a set of Porsche replica wheels that came with Porsche Center caps of course. They ere able to help me be sending me a smooth center cap with a stick on VW logo. Looks factory and has lasted two plus years.

I have still not been able to find any. I am going to sticker route like others. Right now one of mine is getting a crack repaired.... should have towed my travel trailer with them on crappy CA freeways.... sticking with the 18s for towing from now on.

Sooo. Just to warn others.... Yes. the link Bryan provided worked. Fit perfectly! yay.


But 12 hours later........ Lost one of the stickers :(. Concave on convex doesnt work well - even with a load of hot glue.

If you get these I suggest pulling off the stickers and applying your own epoxy to hold them on better. But they looked good while it lasted.

If it makes any difference I had the supplier provide me with VW caps that have lasted quite awhile. I had the 20" Porsche replica wheels and I am sure I got them from Stock Wheel Solutions. Have some pretty Porsche caps that just need a car to put them on.
