Which EMPI Hubcap Fits Your VW?
Stock VW steel-wheel hubcaps fall into three groups: 5-lug (5x205) cars through the 1965 model year, 5-lug cars of the 1966–1967 model years (EMPI lists separate hubcaps for these two years), and 4-lug (4x130) cars from the 1968 model year (August 1967 production). Match the column to your car and wheels.

What's Included
- One hubcap (Single) or four hubcaps (Set of 4).
- Hubcap only: retaining springs are part of the wheel (repair kit EMPI 98-6982-B).
Why It Matters
This is a stock-look hubcap for 4-lug steel wheels. EMPI also makes a stock-style hubcap with the EMPI globe logo (10-1063-0); this one has holes, as the title says. Pick the one that matches the other caps on your car.
If you are matching existing hubcaps, compare the photo, or send us a photo of yours for a side-by-side check before you order.
Install Notes
- Stock VW steel wheels hold the hubcap with spring clips riveted to the wheel. Check that all clips are present and tight; EMPI sells the replacement spring and rivet as 98-6982-B (VW 111-698-131).
- Line the hubcap up square, then seat it with the heel of your hand or a rubber mallet with a rag over the cap, working around the edge.
- Remove with a proper hubcap puller (see the EMPI billet hubcap puller) or a padded tool — prying with a screwdriver dents the cap and chips the wheel paint.
