Where to buy stainless steel wheel trim rings?
Where to buy stainless steel wheel trim rings? I have been looking at all of the car parts suppliers, and they all have cheap poor quality chrome
rings that I anticipate will rust very quickly.
I am after stainless steel ones that will stay shiny. I have tried some other places that sell 15" wheel trims, but they say they will not fit a
Beetle as they are for deep dish rims, or thay are a square cross section shape.
So where in Melbourne would I find some? Aust VW Performance in Croydon don't have them.

I got mine from George at Classicveedub, I did however walk into the shop and buy them, I've heard that his mail order side is a bit hit or miss
