Of the seven 80-83 Westies and Vanagons I've had in about the same number
of years I've found mostly black rims.
Whenever I found a silver rim it was usually as a spare, I've never found
any other color unless it was an earlier Busses that the owners painted
to match the body color when they used 1/2 hubcaps.
I've also never seen a Pop-top in any other color than the White/Off
White unless it had been painted to match the body by the PO.
