Why It Matters
BRM caps are not interchangeable across EMPI's ranges. The New Beetle BRM has a different center than the air-cooled BRM, so an air-cooled cap will not seat in it.
Install Notes
- Clean the wheel's center bore so the ring seats evenly.
- Press the cap in by hand with even pressure around the edge; do not hammer it.
- Clean chrome with mild soap; acid-based wheel cleaners can make plating bubble.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Will the EMPI 00-9733-0 cap fit my 2005 VW New Beetle? Yes, if the car is on EMPI BRM 5x100 wheels such as the 17x7 chrome 00-9737-0. It is the replacement cap EMPI lists for New Beetle BRM wheels.
- Will it fit a BRM wheel on my air-cooled Beetle? No. Air-cooled BRM wheels (5x205, 4x130 and 5x112) use the 00-9705-0, 00-9715-0 or 00-9704-0 caps.
- Is it sold as a set? No, it is sold each. Order four for a full set.
- What is it made of? Chrome-plated plastic with an EMPI logo; it pushes in and is held by a ring.
- Can I change the logo? EMPI sells a 62mm EMPI logo set of 4 (00-9666-0) that fits the New Beetle caps for 9736 and 9737 wheels; ask us to order it.
