[WA] Hubcaps/center caps for early 244 steel wheels (14x5.5)

pieboyfresh

Looking for some hub caps to suit steel wheels (early two-piece dinner plate style).
Anybody have some/one they'd be willing to part with, or know of where I can buy from?

I think I have a set. Will check tonight

I have this if you're interested.

The type the original poster shows were used from about '79-'82 and are two piece, and don't require the rims to have clips around the centre.

The lower pic shows the '75-'78 type, which is one piece and retained by clips.

I don't have any of the '79-'82 type, but I have enough of the other type to fill a milk crate.

Cheers @jamesinc

@Angus242164 Yep, exactly. The centre cap is a pressure fit into the hub cap, pushes the clips against the ridged edge of the hub.

Kind of a shame they're designed that way because it seems to make them fall off, which happened to me the other day. No idea where unfortunately.

I don't think the earlier style will fit, but i'll have a hunt around to see if I can confirm it. I'll let you guys know if I do want some of these instead.

Cheers for all of your replies :)

The earlier style wont fit because your wheels won't have the retaining clips + holes drilled

@iivxrzvcxii I had a look, unfortunately the ones I have are also the earlier style. I do have a single one in the style you're after, with a black centre cap (chrome V with black background)

Thanks @jamesinc, glad to know the earlier ones aren't an option - I couldn't find much on it anywhere.

I do only need the one, but I won't buy it off you and make you go through the hassle of posting one hub cap! I also posted on the WA Volvo Enthusiasts Facebook group and got a message this afternoon from a bloke called Henry who has one, so I'll probably grab that as he's only 10kms away. Appreciate your help - hope you're enjoying "Amy" :)
