Default lug caps

I'm trying to find a place to purchase a set of chrome lugnut caps. I'd like to get the smooth caps without the ridge. I currently have a combination of both types and a couple missing. Can anyone suggest a place to buy them?

By ridge do you mean the ring around the perimeter of the cap? Is so the ones I got from MAM have the ridge. Sorry I do not have a source but I am sure others will.

Go to the classifieds and search in that forum using keywords "chrome lug nut caps" (or words to that effect) and you'll find a bunch of possibilities. While you're there, just go through a few days worth of pages...someone had two bags of caps in both styles earlier this week. Gene at the KARSHOP probably also has them. He's a site vendor in the list to the left in the main menu.
These are not the ad I was thinking of, but possibilities...

If you would be satisfied with chrome lugnuts instead of the plastic caps, $24.95 shipped, click on link below.
