How can I make these fit 12" steelies

[max4beats]

Ok so I wanna change of wheels and i'm thinking about this look http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?4985685-The-Hubcap-Thread/page2&


But how can you make 16" hubcaps fit 13" Steelies?

 

[vngtx]

you cant.

 

[suj]

You can actually

Cut off all the inner tabs, so its flat

Then cable-tie to the wheel

2 problems though
1) unbalanced
2) if you hit a pothole/low pressure will ruin them

You have 12" steelies? Why?

 

[Finan]

i like that look,
seen a passat with huge hubcaps over the wheels.

 

[Seat-Chris]

mmmm might try this one on mine

 

[vngtx]

i have seen hubcaps that make your wheels look like deep dish though.

 

[suj]

wtf you on about vince?

 

[vngtx]

ill try and find them. i just remember seeing some on a shed.

 

[vngtx]

like these but wider.

 

[m0rk]

wow. that looks even more **** than I thought it could

 

[vngtx]

they ones id seen looked better than that as they had the bbs pattern too.

 

[old 'uns]

wow. that looks even more **** than I thought it could

thank god i'm not the only one

i can just see the Q's to go buy 'old skool' wheel covers at Halfrauds now

 

[crezz]

wow. that looks even more **** than I thought it could

hahaha, i just proper laughed out in front of everybody!

 

[Fl@pper]

i'm lost i think well maybe - feck knows i'll try anyway

you wanna fit 16" plastic wheel trims over a 12"? 13" steel wheel to try and fake it to look like you have 16" steel rims running low profile tyres? please god tell me i'm wrong


did you miss the bit where they mention using 16" steel wheels to fit 16" wheel trims ?

 

[suj]

lol I never seen the fascination, like what you said, get 16's...run lower profiles, simple

what we all do

 

[Dave_88]

All you do it cut the tabs off the 16" trims and cable tie those onto the 13" trims so they sit flush if that makes sense? I think they look awesome mate DO IT!!

 

[Fl@pper]

flush ? lmfao - this i gotta see

please god do it for all our enjoyment



when ya done why not get em banded to 9J and with a 155 tyre too, not a 145 mind though as it's gotta be safe for the sprogs 'n' sheet

you seem to have spelt "****" by using the word "awesome" by mistake

 

[Dave_88]

Well the proper way of doing it is by using 2 set of wheel trims. Sorry for helping out by answering the OPs question rather than spamming his thread with a load of :w4nk: sorry keyboard warriors!!

@max4beats if you need any pointers give me a PM mate seeing as these spammers wont
