    Thought those were ripple caps or trash can lids as some old guys around here call them

    Those are damn snazzy! Where can a HAMB'er with taste and style procure a set of those?

    did they come stock on some cars, or are they only an after-market design?

    Probably not that clean after returning yesterday from a 20 hr road trip. But you get the idea. Caddy centres on an import cap copy.

  20. Where did you find the starburst with the bullet? I can only find it without the bullet and I really want bullet ones for my car I am talking about these (The image was gone)

    You can find all different size bullets on line but you'll have to drill a hole in the wheel cover and bolts them on
