Center caps - Not EMPI

Hey guys,

First time posting here..

On the weekend I bought some EMPI center caps for my beetle, they dont fit, I later realized the ones I was actually after have indentations to allow for the rim where the wheel bolt goes through. (See picture.)

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.

Does anyone know where to get these ? I am sticking with the EMPI's for now, I can beat them through the rim with a rubber mallet, in doing so creating my own custom "Indentations' Razz

If anyone knows the brand or a store stocking them I'd be super grateful.

Cheers.. Ben.

Those are usually used with Jackman off road wheels for Baja's

I'm running the Empi caps. Just put the caps on the studs, then put the wheel on. Tighten each lug a little at a time until its snug then torque them down in the process creating "custom indentations" without a mallet.
