|
|
I need to get a set of VW labeled caps for some mangel wide 5s. Where is the best place to get a set? Not sure if I should go on eBay, local shop or what.
Thanks! _________________ '66 White Karmann Ghia Coupe |

Not sure exactly what you are looking for but these guys are good to deal with and seem to have a pretty good supply of high quality/OEM/OG parts.

I remember Scott Dempster from KGPR sending out an email letting people know that he planned to start importing the 5 wide hubcaps and chroming them. You might call KGPR and see it that ever happened.
Also, do you have your original wheels? Not certain but I think that the 66 has a 1 year only pattern that is worth saving . . . |

They are a one off wheel with flat cap and I am keeping the wheels and caps but I want a wider tire and wheel. _________________ '66 White Karmann Ghia Coupe |

hard to find the old half-moons in a heavy steel with a decent finish. I know I bought House of Ghia's last set of 4, and they were about the same price as a custom wheel! |
