Who makes the best quality Elephant Ear mirrors?

I just bought a pair from BFY and am very pleased. As far as the best quality? This is the only set I've bought.

Thanks Ripple. Do the BFY's have the three screws on the back of the mirror to adjust the tension on the ball? And are the arms chrome of painted?

The mirrors I bought don't have the three screws, the way they work is with a nut mechanism that you loosen to set the mirror and then tighten in place. What it does is raise some sort of rod if you will when the nut is tightened which puts pressure on the ball to keep it from moving. The arms are chrome as well as the back of the mirror itself.

The three screw style was the VWoA original style, and the large nut style is the new aftermarkets. The originals show up on this site and Eb*y semi-regularly.
