Looking to find where I can buy a replacement hubcap for my 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster Replica.
Any help is appreciated.

Putting 3 posts in 3 separate headings isn't going to help you.
I'd call Vintage Motorcars Inc. in California or Beck in Bremen Indiana.
I put a response in your original thread. Hope you find the info useful.
I too think 3 posts is a bit much. It actually makes it slightly more difficult for the person posting to see the replies.
Sorry for the over posting guys, I'm new here and noticed after posting that the forums weren't very active in the last 6 months so I thought maybe posting it in the most active forum would be smartest. My apologies on the confusion, I understand that now.
Thank you for the help!
I guess your thread where I posted an answer to your questions was deleted.
Here is what was on that thread:
I would venture to say your wheels are 4-bolt mangels. 4 -bolt wheels typically have 8 slots/holes and the hubcap sits on top of the wheel surface.
5-bolts wheels (commonly referred to as wide-5's) have 10 slots/holes and the hubcap sits more flushed with the wheel surface.
There are many sources for these hubcaps, but try this link for more info...

I hope you find this information useful. Tough crowd on SOC.
So post a photo of the wheel with missing cap. I think the wide five rims with the clips are more forgiving for using replica hub caps. The 4 bolt rims are fussier in holding the caps on. On some caps the edges have to be slightly bent or the nubs on rims ground off a bit. SOCal has both early and later caps available.
Years ago someone here (Annalise) reported they bought a new VS and on the way home from VS they lost 3 of the 4 hub caps!
