Which g60 centre cap?
« on: 07 January 2010, 17:02 »
Hi
These g60 centre caps are on eBay (£22.00) and are different from the standard G60 hub caps
 (871 601 171)as the nut covers are incorpareted and the caps are then one piece.







Does anybody have any? whats the VAG part number?


Also, how do these fit on the wheels, as the normal caps 871 601 171 are held on when you tighten the wheel nuts up,which I've only read after searching many a forum :grin:

Do these caps fit if I you have locking wheel bolts ?

Anybody using them?

I have these on my wheels and they do fit over my locking wheel bolts. They are a tight fit over them but do go without distorting and dont fall off. I belive the caps are from a caddy.  :smiley:

I have them fitted to my g60 steels, they are off a mk2 caddy and work out around £5 cheaper than buying the centres with caps and individual wheel bolt covers.

They wont fit over locking wheel nuts though

Cheers guys,

Thanks for the info.

Does anybody have a P/N, save me trying to search through EKTA?

I must admit I'm starting to like the flush caps more and more. I might go for a set of those as well, just to keep things changing (but on a budget)

Ooops,Sorry,

Looking for the ones with the small VW on the sides as seen above on thom 89's rims.

There are others with a large VW in the middle, but they look wrong on many levels to me:smiley:

(only in my opinion though)
