    Someone got a deal with buy it now…

     

    At that price, shipping from the left coast would’ve been a real possibility…

    Up for auction for 8 minutes total.  Wow!  “Faster than a speeding bullet.”  Somebody, with their finger on the hair trigger got a great deal.  

    Wish I could figure out how to get the new owner an invite to the forum.

    I’d like to know what’s holding those hubcaps on.

     

    The only wheels like that I have sen for sale, do not have the ‘ears” for VW hubcaps:

    Yes, they do…

     

    My “look” is painted VW steel wheels, chrome VW nippled hubcaps with emblems (either VW Wolfsburg crest or MG center caps glued on), and stainless steel deep (not thin) wheel rings.  Still TBD is the color of the painted wheels, whether black, silver, or red body color. 

     

    With the Wolfburg crest (which has a touch of red) or the black/chrome MG center cap, I think it would really dress up this look on a red car.  The red wheels really makes the chrome “pop”, IMO:

    I have a set of 5 of those but can’t use them on my smoothie hubcaps. The smoothies are too rounded to support them. I ordered the 1-7/8 inch medallions from MG Magic instead. If anyone needs a set like these PM me with your address and I’ll send them to you.

    Yep, I have some left over too.  They wouldn’t fit the Empi hubcaps either…

    Please excuse, but I am confused.  

    Are the ones that you no longer need like the black ones that Kent posted?  
    And are these the ones that are 2″ in dia?

    Sorry for the confusion. Yes the ones I no longer need are like the black ones in Kent’s photo. They are 2 inch diameter.

    I believe those emblems might fit on the knock off spinners for my wire wheels. What do you want for them?

    Kent or Allen, looks like Steve had the same idea that I did.  Whichever of you does not send to Steve, I would like to try yours on my knock off spinners.

    I’ll have to dig mine out and see — I THINK I have four left, but not sure.

    Same style I used on my spinners and worked well – 7 years running now.
