Dude- folks across the other 50 states are at work in the middle of the day.
VW swap meets always have good OG caps- that's where the rest of us go. If good new hubcaps break your bank you've got way more important parts to list on Santa's lap.

I have 2 styles of stainless caps. No VW logo though. They hold up really nice. If you are looking for VW logo caps, eis has the stainless caps for like $55 each.

| I got some stainless VW logo hubcaps here in the UK, they look great, but the flange at the outer edge isn't as well-formed as the original caps, so they don't sit on the wheel quite as well. A minor detail but I expected better considering the price. Just something to bear in mind. |
