    There is a long running thread on using metal electrical knock out plugs for center wheel caps.

    Forget the metal ones. Here is a listing of silver, white and black nylon heat resistant ones that are even better, don't corrode with steel on aluminum, and the color is molded in throughout.

    No painting needed for the silver or black ones...

    If you don't have a Grainger account, you can go to any Lowe's Pro Special Order Counter and have them shipped to you home for FREE.

    Please tell me there is a picture of these on a car and someone telling us if they fit. The metal ones have to be bent to fit right?

    I just ordered some from another site, was like $4 for a pack of 25 2.25inch outer and 2inch inner, +$5 shipping...they snapped onto my rims very snugly (now a little more of a complete look to the rims)

    I'm just now debating on what sort of center cap sticker I'm gonna order to put on it...

    Ouch Grainger is $10 to ship.. You said you got from another site?
    Anybody know right off what size to get for stock wheels, or somewhere else to get them?
