Thanks, Michael I just did the opposite swap, I had the hubcaps. Mine were dented, rusted, and the PO had painted them black. Doubt you'd want them, but let me know if you do -- they're in the scrap bin right now and will be taken to recycling next Saturday. You can get cheapie chrome hubcaps but word is they start rusting pretty quickly. The good ones with heavy chrome cost, if you can find them, cost a fair bit more. Allan -- 1991 Vanagon GL |
