Hi, I've bought a set of VW G60 steel wheels and need some centre caps, either the small black ones or preferably the flat silver ones that cover the whole centre of the wheel as fitted to other models with 14 or 15inch steel wheels (Drivers, 'Rocco's etc) Please PM me if you've got anything suitable  Thanks Stu |

Excellent, they sound like just what I need - cheers Guz Let me know and I can Paypal/drop a cheque in the post to you. Not wishing to sound thick, but which bit is the plastic beauty ring? I just assumed the centre cap was all one bit? |

they are separate bits, i just got the lot in a deal i did, they fit the 14" rim and i suppose make the rim look a bit bigger, maybe 15" ? VAG part. the caps just clip on the wheel, i take it you just want the caps. |

Ah, I see, I know what you mean now. Yes, just need the caps please if you have any - should look similar to this (pic nicked from ClubGTI forum)... How much would you want for the set of four?  |

Ok, no worries matey, no big rush really as I'm not getting the wheels delivered 'til later in the week and they won't have tyres 'til next week anyway |

The wheels arrived this morning, sooner than I expected! Someone on another forum offered me this set (pic below), are these the same as the ones you have guz? I didn't think they would have a big VW logo in the centre like these, but apparently these do fit the G60 steel wheel ok and are silver plastic? I wonder if these are off a VW van or something?  |

Aren't they off a 6n Polo? Yes, quite possibly, they do look familiar. I keep noticing various types of VW steel wheels and caps when I'm out and about now, Caddy vans have some nice ones on too - not sure if they'd fit VW cars too? |

New tyres arrived today, MyTyres.co.uk are very quick! Thought I might as well get them fitted and bosh the steelies on. They look a little 'base model' in my eyes really with clean steels, dirty paintwork and exposed bolts but the centre caps and a clean of the car will sort that. On the plus side, the car looks even lower than usual and no alloys to worry about kerbing/getting nicked! ;D They'll do for now 'til I get my BBS re-furbed, then I might stick them on the Mk1.
