Odd C5 Center Caps

I was digging through some things when I was cleaning the house for company next weekend and I ran across these center caps I've had for years. I originally had them on my triple black '95 that I put chrome C5 Z06 replica wheels on back in 2006. I have never seen another set like them anywhere. They have a raised C5 logo with the flag on both sides. Has anyone ever seen these or maybe has them on their car? What do you think of them?

They are nice but the maker must've modified the flag design to avoid trademark infringement. That's not the C5 emblem.

I've not seen those before either. I think they look good, but really don't care for the yellow in the flags.

Thats probably why you don't see them.

is it really yellow, or have they discolored a bit from being in storage?

If you'd like to sell them, let me know?

Thanks Mark-

I think they have yellowed over time. I'll have to see if I can find a picture of them on my old C4. It's like an epoxy or clear I think that has yellowed. Really not interested in letting them go quite yet Rollie. If I decide to śell them I'll let you know.
