Default center caps?

Anybody know of an online source to buy cheap center caps? I bought a set of reproduction c7 wheels and the center caps logo looks like a 3 year old painted it on there... just seeing if there is somewhere I can find some cheap center caps?!

When I bought my reproduction wheels from West Coast Corvettes, I paid a little extra and got real GM center caps. Don't remember what I paid extra but it wasn't much.

I bought GM center caps for my new wheels (reproduction) and they matched perfectly, can't remember the price though.

What color? Chrome, grey, or black? I bought my chrome logo center caps on eBay. They are supposed to be genuine GM caps, although my wheels are reproduction. I'm not sure which is at fault, the wheel or the cap, but when I installed the caps on the rear wheels, the inside of the cap hit the axle. I had to use a 1/8" wheel spacer to gain enough room between the axle and the cap. No big deal, just notable.






This image shows the difference between the plain caps that came with the wheels, and the logo caps that replaced them.


This part of the axle is what the logo caps hit against.

I really want to avoid any sort of spacers, so hopefully whichever I buy it don't have that fitment issue. Thanks for the replies guys.
