Wheel centers?

I need some more wheel centers for my car!! Where can I get a good set cheap. they're 15 inch wheels, and mine used to say Rally. I almost bought a set off of Ebay, but my girlfriend would have killed me if she knew that I almost spent $70.00 on the damn things. Where do you guys get them from, and what can I do to keep the ****'s from flying off...

I just cough up the cash and buy them new from GM. I like to wrap some duct tape around the little plastic clips. It makes for a tighter fit on the rim. Most of the time they dont fall off, its just people steal them.

The later caps have steel clips that keep them clamped to the wheels... couldn't tell you on the older ones

Well, those metal clips dont work so hot either. I put one on thinking it was all cool, and gave a pull to see how well it work. The cap came off in my hand and left the metal clip part on the wheel!
