Mike- the caps look even better when you mount them from the backside. You have to trim the cap ears a bit, but they look killer when mounted that way, especially when you use stainless button-head hardware. Mock it up and you'll see what I mean... Jeff

Now you're gettin somewhere, get some og caps and it's on...that's the hard part! Getting good original uncracked caps aren't growing on trees, that's for sure.

cherry patch ranch

i sent chadd the centers and he rimmed them for me. i wanted some wheels that would look good in gold, and these def do. they are 5 inch up front and 7 inch in the rear. caps are from terry torque thrust and generic chrome lug covers. the chrome lug covers was important since vw stock lugs are ugly.
