Nice deal on brand new center caps

That is a pretty decent deal.

Just FYI for all the cheap bastards out there...if you pull the old ones off, hit them with a scotchbrite pad to clean them up, and spray them with the silver high temp paint you get at Home Depot, they'll look almost as good as new.

I was painting some parts for my car and decided to try it, and the difference it made for the overall looks of the truck was pretty shocking.

That's exactly what I was going to eventually do!
But I'm selling her :(
And was missing one cap. So this worked well for me.
Best damn vehicle I've ever had. She served me well for 13 years and 100,000 miles.
 
Just bought one for myself.
Would have bought four but I'm actually selling my truck.
$12 shipped (each) which is cheaper than all the fugly worn out caps on the bay.

I bought a set of these, they start to yellow after about a year or so. Not too terribly so, truck still looks better than with scratched up original caps, but it's not OE quality, needless to say. Plastic is significantly thinner and more brittle than the OE, but again it's 'good enough.' I had to bend the metal tabs somewhat for the caps to sit securely and snugly. I'd say I'm happy overall.

You're right, these are not OEM and I didn't realize that when ordering it.
Put the one on yesterday.
The "T" symbol is just painted on vs. the OEM where it's also painted on, but it's painted inside a groove. Where as this knockoff is just painted on top.
Weight is similar. The new one had to be knocked on with a hammer. Gheez it was tough to get on. But it looks nice.

New vs. Old.
