Rings

Post by AoT »

I have a set of these rings that were given to me. Not sure what the right term is to do some research. They fit inside the rim of my '67

Any help on this?

Thanks

:P

They look very similar to the old Moon hubcaps. Those would be full moon which would cover the entire wheel. Or they also had baby moons that covered just the lug nuts. Try starting your search with "full wheel spun aluminum hub cap"

They very well could be stainless. And I doubt they are VW specific. I just suggested that as a start for your search.
