This isn't going to help anyone with beautifying their hubcaps but...


Am I alone in generally disliking hubcaps - period?  I'd love to have
alloys, but they're pricey and really don't stand up to much abuse.


As soon as I have time, my hum-drum Vanagon hubcaps are coming off - and the
stock 14" steel wheels will be sandblasted for that "bare" steel look that
was common in the 80's with bare-bones Golfs, Jettas etc. (just like those
after-market 15" and 16" steel wheels you can purchase online).  I'll get
some hub and bolt covers - and be done with it.


I will store the hubcaps somewhere though - they are/will be worth their
weight in gold...


AG.
