Do these Black w/ silver bird Center caps look ok?
I'm finally starting to get my trans am back on the road and looking ok. Its missing all the center caps and I want to get some new ones, I found some on ebay and wanted to know if they look like they're worth the price
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PONTI...Q5fAccessories
I remember checking a few months ago and they were like $30 bucks with free shipping, now they're 60
I also need some lug nuts since they don't match , I've been checking summit and there's lots of them . correct me if im wrong but they should be 12mm x 1.5 pitch and I think conical seat

First off the thread is right and conical seat is right for those wheels.
The color of the bird looking right could have to look Ok with the color of the car also but should look good with the black wheels and Chrome lugs.
Those center caps you listed seem to be the higher quality set that is available. Some are plain plastic without the Gm style retaining ring.

The cars red, you really think I should go with chrome lugs? I was thinking black to match the rims. I ended up buying a set of NOS caps from ebay won the bid at $47 total. I hope I didn't get screwed, we'll see when they get here

I haven't put them on yet since one of the emblems came off, I think some rtv will make sure it doesn't come off again or should I use something else?
Here's a pic of them.

DO NOT USE the glue GM sells it'll melt the centers.. I think RTV works well along with a few others not 100% sure tho..

I don't think the caps you bought will fit your wheels. Those look like the shorter caps used on the steel wheels. The caps you need are over twice as tall and have a different mounting surface.
