There is no one part per order,you bought one part and thats what you got.The cheap Chinese knock off will work but doesnt look like the OEM part,thats why its half price.These are even cheaper on Fleabay.

you could always buy one of each, inspect them both and return the one that you don't like

The reproduction center caps that we carry look exactly like the originals and fit with no problem. They are on our website under part # 470138. Hope this helps!
