Cup 1 differences? Center caps
Nathan J. was asking about my center caps in the Gmund thread. Figured I would start a new thread because this is kind of odd. Maybe you guys know about it?
When I put my current center caps in my refurbed cup 1's one of them stuck out. Ie. it wasn't flush with the center of the wheel. Then I realized that the center bore is different on my two 7.5's. One is 6 mm deep and the other is 4mm deep. They are both genuine and both made in 91 but they are different. I guess I'm going to have to have a machine shop shave one of my center caps down to fit correctly.
If you buy mixed sets of cup 1's you may want to look out for this.

Yea the one that was 6 mm has some paint in that area so it may be more like 6.2-6.3 If the paint was removed.
If they are both et65 then the offsets should be the same right?
