Friends: 57 | Re: Chrome wheel skins I am thinking of ditching my full factory plastic covers on the touring package. Why would anyone cover a powder coated aluminum wheel with a plastic cover? Only problem is there is no cover for the hub so I need to look for a small hub cover. |

Friends: 3 | Re: Chrome wheel skins They make the hub covers, they are called center caps, I got them for about $40 plus shipping, this one is a decent buy: 2004-2009 Prius center cap |

Friends: 2 | Re: Chrome wheel skins So, let's say you want chrome covers for a 7-spoke touring model wheel. These folks might be the answer: Plastic Chhrome - vacuum chrome metalizing, chroming plastic, color chrome plate Maybe even chrome bumpers fore and aft -- Hey, why should VW have all the bling? -- shark fin, spoiler, whatever... the sky's the limit! Standard disclaimer: I have no connection, association, or affiliation whatsoever with these folks... it's just for fun. BTW, I was wondering; is chrome a color, or merely a reflective, full spectrum surface treatment? Last edited by Rokeby; 04-25-2009 at 07:19 PM. |

Friends: 57 | Re: Chrome wheel skins The plain aluminum wheels look great. I do not understand why they would spend all that money to powder coat an aluminum wheel and they cover it with a cheesy full plastic cover.  |

Friends: 33 | Re: Chrome wheel skins My wheelskins are on their way. They left the USA yesterday. I think the plastic covers are to protect the wheels from drivers who drive like my wife, using the curb as a bumper. |

Friends: 2 | Re: Chrome wheel skins Pat, Are the 'skins coming via air or surface? Which is another way to ask, Do you expect to see them before the summer solstice? Or would that be the winter solstice Down Under?  |
