Nice Chris. Did you buy those wheels new? I recently lost one of the hubcaps on mine and haven't had any luck finding a new one. VW in Nelspruit can't even find the wheel or the hubcap part number on the system although they have a brand new wheel sitting in the display area! (Minus the hubcap of course!)

Judging by the amount of taxis here in Pretoria that have replica AMG wheels, those caravelle wheels should be pretty easy to find. But try dealing with taxi owners. really, they are another type of person all together... 5 months of negotiations for one bludy steering wheel!
