Yes. I bought a used set from Go Westy. $50/each. I sanded them down and
sprayed them with several coats of some VW metallic silver and then several
coats of clear. I think silver must be the toughest color to put down. You
cannot see it coming out of the gun and since the color is a metallic you can't
see it on the wheel either.
I was a little worried if they would fit correctly with enough lug nut
engagement. I bought a set of lug nuts from Go Westy also and it all worked
fine. Not chrome, but not bad.
I had a Mexican dude (Jesus) in Conroe recover the rear seats.
I just need to finish installing the door rubbers and I'll be done. It's a
good thing I don't think I can stand too many more nights in the garage this
summer.
I taught my daughter what 2-60 air conditioning was today. She also learned
what 2-0 A/C is at a stop light.
I hope fall comes early this year for the ES trip!

lunch in Sparky. Not too many cars at the "Day of the Beetle, but at 95
outside who can blame anyone for not showing.
Anyway, here a few pictures of Sparky in my frontyard afterwards.
