I have Rheins and the ones I purchased from Van Cafe' fit fine.

FAS produces the Rhein wheels stateside. I would check with them.

Call Van Cafe and tell them you need a center cap for the Rhein wheel. I could not find the caps on their website but they may have some that are not listed.

Just back from my trip out west and some where along the way I lost two wheel hubs. I ordered two from Gowesty but they are to small. Is there another hub for these wheels?
