Looking for Wolfsburg edition wheel center caps
I met a neighbor tonight that has a sweet very clean VW Karman Ghia.
It's missing a couple of wheel caps. And the guy is not into computers so I've been searching the Samba trying to find them for him , with no luck.  The car had belonged to his nephew and had been in storage for 30 years.  He thinks these were the original wheels.  These are the center caps he needs two of. Would probable like a a full set if they came available. Anyone know of a source? Thanks Richard |

These look identical to what he has on there although they aren't listed as center caps. |

Those are either 914 2.0 Fuchs alloy wheels or polished knock offs. Stock Ghia wheels would be steelies with a hub cap. I think the knock offs were made by Empi and others. Also, the 1600 Super badge is from a 356.

Good eye there N C. These look like the Fuchs wheels with the black areas polished.
I found a set of caps, but with a black field. Still looking for some with the white field The car also has a non standard steering wheel. That looks good, just not original. |

 but they don't appear to be identical. Those appear to be a plastic knock-off of the enameled originals. --note even the silver trim, and black surrond size. Somewhere I have a couple of the original enamel badges. --these were used on Wolfsburg Edition VW's in the 80's.
