Hey Guys,

Ive got myself a Vespa Super just as a little runaround and ive bought the 10" conversion rims (which i have no idea the different they are suppose to make) which i bought so i could fit some whitewall i had laying around.
But my silly question which i cant get my head round is...... i want to buy some hub caps, do i buy 8"hub cap or 10"hub cap as again i have no idea how they fit???

Cheers in advance

I have no experience of hub caps but I would have thought that you would definately need bigger ones to fit the 10" rims. Presumably they attach to the rim edge?

I think you would need the 10" caps with the 8" fitting brackets to enable you to fit them to those conversion rims!

Its like a tripod that is fixed at 3 of the wheel studs/nuts then the hubcap is screwed to the centre of the tripod/bracket!
