Re: Anyone know what these hubcaps are?
I don't know who made them but I have some. I filed them in the weird repro hubcap box. My guess was there were one of the 70's/80's repro's that was hoping would appeal to everyone, VW and Porsche with a cool design. I guess you gotta differentiate yourself in the repro market.

They are replacements for the VW, but do not violate the trademark.

BTW, note the top ones have the circle divided into 30* embossed segments, while Adam's are 90*, debossed; two different suppliers?
