I'm putting a set of 5000 Turbo wheels on my '91 Carat. I finally found
the right spacers, and I've had all four centers machined.

Now, I'd like to use the Audi caps, but they don't fit the machined
center bore. Can anyone offer a good solution for retaining the caps?
Jim,

If you use spacers and do not machine the holes all the way, you may still be
able to use the Audi caps. I have seen peopple use Velcro -- tacky and gets
fithy dirty.

I use aftermarket billet caps with set-screws. The production versions are a
bit too short (shallow) for the Vanagon application. I found an outfit which
makes extensions for any center cap but ridiculously priced at over $160 a set
of four. With the billet caps at about $50, that makes things economically
impractical.

I am studying getting the center caps replicated in the Philippines. They are
already making bull bumpers for me. If they can make them cheap enough, I
will try to put a group purchase together.
