Just a note that I once again have these painted German hubcaps for
Vanagons.  These are the ones that Per refers to above, small sized like the
Bus ones (they do not cover the lug bolts), but painted silver rather than
chrome.  Unlike the currently available chrome ones, which are Taiwanese or
Mexican and rust out quickly, these are much heavier duty.  At $29.95 for
the set of four, the price is right.  You can find them on the website
bargains page, or by searching the site for part number 251 601 151B4.
