I replaced all mine with 1/4" Smoke Plexiglass, on both my 89 Irocs and my GTA wheels. 1/8" on the GTA's though. Works for me, and a damn site cheaper, and I like the subdued look.

GM wanted somewhere around $100 and then like $10 a decal. I got them aftermarket for $50 for the set and decals, but it was a local dealer, "Corvette Mystique". He probably ordered'm through classic industries though, he gets a lot of stuff through them. It works out because I don't have to pay shipping, because he just picks it up with another order. Really though, in the long run you should get new rims. My centercaps were stolen once, all 4, and I lost another one that must have fallen off a few monthes back and had to replace it. They just pop right off. I wish someone would have made some that fit under the lugnuts, so you can't just pop them off. That's really not a bad looking set of rims, but they're too costly to replace that cap.
