Default Need help on wheels

Am new to the corvette. Just bought a 1980. Has the optional aluminum wheel, with centers that are extensions with spinners that screw onto the extensions. The extensions are held on with 3 allen head set screws. From what I can find, these must have been added. The only sites I can find that sell original centers are the original push ons. Can anyone help as to where I can find these, lost one today. Thanks.

If you're looking for another spinner, I'd try Ecklers. I just bought a kit from them about a week ago. I know they sell them as a kit, so you may want to call them and see if you can get just one some way. Make sure it matches though.
