Default do OEM caps actually exist in the size you're looking for or are you hoping

to use an OEM cap of that size on your aftermarket wheels?

Ebay is always good for used center caps.

Default I think just the adhesive aftermarket ones will be my only option.

Most are around 2" in diameter.

Default I had the same issue with my aftermarket wheels

I ended up using the aftermarket center caps (since there were no OEM caps that fit properly) and had a custom silver, heavy grade vinyl decal made with the 4 rings. The decal covered the aftermarket manufacturer's logo perfectly.

Default Where did you have them made?

Maybe they still have the image and they could whip up another set without too much trouble.

How did they hold up?

Default they're holding up great and it's been at least 2 years - the key is outdoor grade vinyl

Here's a shot of the original ADR cap along with the cap once I applied the decal.

The place is a very small business called Ingenious Designs. Ask for Steve. It wasn't cheap since it was considered a custom job but it was well worth it since I couldn't source an OEM replacement cap.<ul><li><a href="http://stickersteve.com/catalog/catalog.htm">Ingenious Designs</a></li></ul>

Default I think $30 for 4 stickers iirc but I really can't remember

seemed like a lot of money at the time for 4 stickers but it was worth it.
