Default Need help finding engraved Logo Wheel Center caps

Take a look at this picture. Where can I get these? I have the high polish 2000 rims and these would look better than the painted (decal) I have currently.

Any ideas???

Really nice, fair, honest guy..
Took care of me on some 2000 style chrome wheels w/ those centers. I'm sure he also sells only the centers.

I went down to Tires-n-parts today.

I looked at the center caps Rick has. They are engraved plastic. I am not sure in the picture posted above how they got them to be maroon color - reflection? The only color they had was polished chrome.

If you have any questions I will do my best to answer them. They were $36 each.

To see a picture goto http://www.tires-n-parts.com and goto wheels. They select "Detroit" as the manufacturer. On the C5 wheels are the caps I saw.

I believe they're $100 for a "set" of 4.

Well...I didn't buy them. But I am holding out for caps that I don't think exist. I would like ones that are much smaller that just cover the very center of the wheel thus giving it more shape. When they come off the truck , they don't have the cap on there. I thought that looked really good, except for needing to cover the hole in the middle.

I did buy a Momo Race Air Leather shift **** that I am very happy with.

Email me if you have any questions.

I think buying these caps are just a personal preferance kinda thing.
