I know these days giant aluminium wheels are all the rage, but anyway...

Since I am running a couple sets of winter tires, and one of them is on silver
steelies, I ordered some 92mm black plastic caps for type 43/44 5 bolts steel
wheels. It is not illustrated in ETKA.

To my surprise, there was stock in Germany, price was less than 9$ each, and
they will fit any steel wheel since they are attached to the wheel bolts "bulge"
by 5 little ears. With a coat of silver paint, they will be very nice. I always
liked the low-key look of wide lip steelies with a plain OEM center cap.

The Audi 5x112 part number is 437 601 171. Picture on request.
