I want to get some stainless hub caps, because I hate stuff that rusts and reckon that the chrome repro ones won't last long when they see some salt. The only stainless ones I can find are at Limebug, but they're £29.99 each. In the spirit of being a bit tight, I have asked if there would be a group buy discount and have got 20% off if I can get 4 people interested in full sets (i.e. 16 hub caps in total). That's 3 more people as well as me. Delivery would be by tracked parcel to each person, £4.90 for the delivery. That's a total delivered price for a set of 4 of £100.87. Please post up if you're interested. http://www.limebug.net/product/view/1477/vw-hub-caps-stainless-steel-late
We had the VW Heritage stainless half moons, they looked great but the fit was pathetic and they kept falling off, in the end they looked awful with all the dents etc. took them off and changed to gas burners instead!
Hi Owen, I may be up for some. I did order some expensive chrome ones from C&C but they are out of stock for quite some time it seems.
just out of pure interest what grade of stainless steel are they ? other than 316/316l they will still corrode/rust
Just sent a pm to all interested parties to try and finalise numbers. If anyone else wants to join, please let me know.
Quick update. Had 3 + me confirm so that's enough people. I have contacted Lime Bug and will sort out getting a 1st off as a sample to make sure they are a good fit and will carry on from there once I have tried it.
OK, so it took a while to actually get a hubcap, because the batch they had sold out over Christmas and he had to try and sort one out for me to try. Here it is sat on the wheel: Not a very good picture, sorry, but the fit is perfect. Needs a push to get on and comes off fine with the puller tool and a big screwdriver to level against the tyre rather than the wheel.
