Are those the self centering ones where the logo is upright all the time? The guy sells them online and I "think" Wayne of Pelican Parts might know the guys

Hi Mike,
These caps have grub screws on the inside to connect them to the wheel and the crest is fixed. What make them different is the depth of the cap. These can be used on VWs where normal caps do not work as the castle nut is in the way. These can clip over the top. Thanks Alan.UK

Never seen any quite like that. I just picked up a similar set, but they don't have the 'bolt' pattern on the outside. $80 off E-bay.

Hi Harddrive,
Can you forward me the ebay link. It sounds like they could also work. Do you know who manufactured them? Alan

Thanks for the link. My caps still look different as the badge is smaller and also the cap is much wider. Mine look like they are for the VW market as there would be no need for these wide caps on a Porsche.
Thanks Alan.UK

Here is a photo of the caps. They do not have any markings, so I am not sure of their origin. Probably not OEM, but the quality is very high.
 The caps came from a dismantler:
