I am purchasing a set of used 5 lug steel wheels that do not have the clips. Does anyone know which particular hub cap to order? They fit inside the lip of the rim according to the seller. Thanks.

They sound like 66-67 Beetle hub caps.

Those clip into the wheel and do not have the typical hub caps clips you may be familiar with on earlier wheels.

Thanks a lot! I haven't seen them yet. Have mags on my 66 that I don't care for. So I need to order 66-67 style hubcaps if I understand correctly. I do know for sure the don't have the clips sticking out.

Would suggest waiting until they show up JUST in case they are an aftermarket wheel or a regular wide 5 with the clips missing. Or if they can confirm that they have the nubs on the inside.
