Yep, there are chrome center caps for Vanagons. I have them on my 84, I
think I stole them from my 81 Westy (parked out back). They are not the baby
moon type that you see on bugs, but are more rectangular in cross section.
And yes, they do look nice.

> Hey y'all, I tried to swipe my brother in law's 70's bus center caps and
put them on my westfalia.  His poor little bus is probably never going to
see pavement again.  I shined them up, dents and all, and then tried to put
them on my 85 westy.  Three of them went on but one, the front passenger
wheel, wouldn't accept it.  The center cap of the spindle sticks out just a
little too far to allow the hubcap to fit.  I've defintely seen vanagons and
westies with center cap style hubcaps.  Are there deeper dishes available?
For now I am stuck with my five spoke target chrome racing caps that look
about as cheesey as can be.  They are only slightly less cheesey than no
caps.  My originals had hit too many curbs with the po and started falling
off at speed...  oh no!
