When I picked up my Ghia, the p.o. said there were some "other" center caps in the glove box. They appear to be polished aluminum center caps with the wolfsburg logo embossed onto them (they are flat). There are 4 allen head set screws that "wedge" the cap onto the rim. I have not seen these for sale anywhere and was just wondering if they were rare or something.

I will post a pic of someone would like to see them.

I also have a set of wolfsburg center caps and was wondering if they were rare. I haven't seen them anywhere else but on this thread. They aren't new, and are on a set of fuchs.

Nope...not rare, but they're not very common either. I'm interested if you want to get rid of them. Wink

Yeah you can buy those brand new too. I bought a set at Kustom 1 and I've seen them at Cal Pacific/J-Bugs. My fakie 5's came with a set of chrome ones. Since then I lost two and had to buy a set of four to replace them. Now I got chrome on the driver's side and polished on the passenger's. I would just put on all polished, but the PO cut a square hole in one for the speedo cable. Anybody need a pair, let me know. Brand new.
