Sorry about multiple messages, don't know how to post multiple pics in one message.
I read the posting. His concern was chrome too bling for silver cars & it's not. + factory wheels looks better & have a better resale value than aftermarket wheels.

The point being made was the thread and that post you replied to are from 2001.

Synco357, please start a new thread about the center caps you seek if needed.
