reproduction centercaps

Anyone know who makes the el cheapo reproduction Firebird centercaps? They show up on Ebay all the time, just curious who makes them and how much a set goes for. Seems some time back JCWhitney used to sell reproduction cheesy Camaro/Firebird centercaps... Anyone know?

$8/ea isn't too bad but I was hoping for cheaper... anyone know of any others? The emblems don't matter.

I do recall JC Whitney carrying el cheapo repro centercaps. I also would imagine that The Paddock or Classic Industries would carry them, also.

Flush center caps

I'm looking for the flush center caps for the 16x8 Turbo wheels. The shop sandblasting my wheels ruined one of them. Dealer says the parts are out of production and no junkyards around here seem to have any.

Any ideas?

I bought some caps like those. I got them from Auto-Extra They were sold in sets of 4 for $25. They did however charge me $10 for shipping. They appear chrome on their site. I was a little dissapointed they did not come chrome, since I was working on the wheels, but for $25 a set, I wont complain. Except to suggest they change their picture due to false information.

So, the difference between these 2 companies is $3.

Here are what mine look like. I like them, especially on my reworked wheels.
