I'm looking for a set of four, new or used, Sun Bug black plastic center cap for the sport wheel. I had heard a while ago Wolfsburg West had them, but after checking it appears they exhausted their supply. Any leads would be appreciated.

MidAmerica may still have some. They are not cheap.

Also, check The Samba Classifieds. I just saw some a few days ago.

You can't use the Search function because it would apparently punch a hole in the Universe, so you'll have to keep running through the pages until you find the ad.

Are sun-bug ones different than the regular sport wheel center caps? CIP1 has the regular sport wheel center caps if that helps.

They are available at Wolfsburgwest and are also available at Westcoast Metric.

I just found the item at Eisparts. $7.99 each. That's the cheapest I've seen them.

Go to Eisparts. Then in their search function, punch in this number:

113601171

Not to good at math there Tim, Wolfsburgwest sells them for $29 a set. Also, Westcoast Metric sells them for $6.50 each [even cheaper!].

Both companies currently have them in stock.

Hm? My old Wolfsburg West's catalog shows those caps at $60.00 for a set. Doing the math, that makes them $15.00 a piece. So, my math was based on old information, apparently--especially since I didn't expect their prices to go down.

No matter, the OP has quite a few sources now.
