just got back from SoCal (there are more vw's in SoCal than in the rest of the world, i swear! ) and noticed a few late Vanagons that had the 14" alloy "Carat" wheels ,and the neat thing about a few of them, is that the alloy wheels were were highly polished aluminim finish instead of just painted silver!! was this factory? i saw this on like 3 different late vans...even centercaps were plasti-chromed.... curious as to whether vw ever offered these wheels in that finish.... chris |
