hi guys and gals,

With regards to stock beetle wheels and hubcaps.

I have seen some of them with an extra circular plate(with holes running all around) around the dome hubcaps.

Is that just an extra piece or is that a totally different hubcap in comparison without that extra plate?

They are add on beauty rings.

Not part of the actual hubcap.

Thank you,

If you go onto the suppler sites, you will find these and others offered for sale, getting the original may be difficult, but repos are sold, but their chrome is suspect and could rust soon if not re-chromed or coated.
