Yes, they're OEM black center caps from an older model S-10. They help on by the lug nut caps. They have a gold Chevrolet logo in the center. Got them off Ebay.

Brule, I had intended to tell them to put the white letters on the inside, but it slipped my mind :( Oh well....guess I haven't completelly turned to the dark side :lol:

Can't wait to see the center caps on those wheels 8)

There was another member here considering some OEM caps. I never did hear if he got some.

Thanks Steve!

If the the caps turn out to have faded when I get them, I'll just spray a little black primer and some gloss black paint on them and the nut caps.

You may be able to apply some wax and buff them out? Someone will probably have a miracle treatment to bring them back to like new appearance.

Try the detailing tips thread.

Somebody's a copycat... :D

Brule...I've had the older S-10 black center caps for a while. It kept the wife from constantly commenting about how it looked like I had 4 spare tires on the truck. 8)

um... twinkies? I'm guessing you mean something other than what I know the meaning of "twink" to be. :!:

No, not that meaning :P

We've always called people twinkies that looked alike. Has nothing to do with anything else :)

Maybe I should retract me original statement :lol:
