do you know who made your dad's reps or where he got them from? They could provide you with some guidance.
If i were to venture a guess... and those wheels don't need hubcentric rings, then you may just need a 60mm center cap... but thats just a guess.
Try sneaking out with a ruler and measuring the gap

Why can't my Dad be that cool?

Haha, my Dad loves his GLI.
He has his pristine 73' Camaro in Root Beer brown that he bought brand new as well. This is just his daily...
And we bought the wheels used so I'm not sure of the manufacturer. Just checkin to see if anyone had any thoughts. Don't have the time to drive over and measure at the moment...
Thanks for all the compliments though. My Dad would be stoked.

Nice car!
Hey Matt, do you still have my Passat?

Edit: Yours http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Max,
I had to sell the Passat a while back for funds to pick up my Harlequin. It was an awsome car though, wish I still had it. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

I'm having trouble finding center caps for my LM reps as well. From my understanding you have to know how deep the center cap goes and snaps in. It's not just a matter of finding out the diameter. Please post an update of you find some legit ones. Thanks.

for the center cap ... they are over 70mm on my wheel (wheel need a hub centric ring to fit). So i bought some BBS sticker to make real fake LM ... miro centercap are so ugly ...
