Subject:      Carat/Wolfsburg Alloy Wheel Studs and Nuts For Sale

I have just obtained a set of five used 14" Vanagon OE alloy wheels with an
incomplete set of wheel nuts and studs.  I managed to find some replacement
(non OE) wheel nuts and now have some OE pieces for sale.  They will make
wonderful spare parts for those of you who already have these alloys.

All of these pieces are OE Vanagon alloy finish.  They cost about $13 apiece
(not per wheel, but each piece) from the dealer.

There are 5 bolts which will fit the front wheels for 2wd (non-Syncros).
There are also 10 wheel nuts which will fit the rear wheels for 2wd and
Syncros, and the front wheels also on the Syncros.  6 of these have the
all-too-easy-to-lose end caps, while the other 4 have already lost their end
caps.  I also have a complete set of 20 hexagon shaped plastic caps which
fit securely over either the bolts or nuts.  The plastic is the same color
as the alloy pieces.  All alloy pieces are in fine condition.  The end caps
are shinny while the ends of the studs could use a bit of polish.  The
plastic caps are in good conditon, with no cracks or gouges.

The first $50 gets the entire set, including shipping.  If bought from the
dealer, my computations indicate the outrageous cost of (15 x $13 = $195)
plus ? for the plastic caps.
