    Center caps...

    09-10-2012 12:12 PM #1
    According to my local VW dealership my center caps are not available. The reason I need one is NTB lost it when I had tires put on last week. I have the euro R wheel

    Any help would be awesom

    Surely if you have a valid VW part no, it can be back ordered ex Germany? They manage to do that here in SA. Post the part number, I can get a price from our dealers as we got that wheel on the early .:R32's here......

    silly yes! TS post p/n and I will see what price we would get them for....

    Also, is it not one of the center caps that were used on other wheels as well?

    Ok it should be taken care of. I used the crash estimating software at my shop and the wheel/ center caps are available. Turns out the parts guy at the dealer was just an idiot lol. Thanx for the help Abe and Howie

    IIRC Oemplus was carrying Zolders at one point for a buttload of cash.

    then Raderwerks made a limited rep of them.

    Europe again got the better wheel than the US did. as soon as I take delivery tomorrow or thursday I'll be selling my Omanyts and tires.


    It was in fact OEMplus who had zolders at one point:
