If your SPID doesn't list RPO PO3 (Chrome Hub Caps), then I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume it also doesn't list YG6,7, or 8 - can you confirm?

The Highlander plaid seat cover could end up on a truck two separate ways - either as a standalone trim option (which will show up on your SPID as 613, 618, etc to inform the color of plaid ordered - sometimes just called "custom" trim too) or as part of the 3 levels of Special Promotional Packages, YG6,7 or 8.

If ordered as a standalone trim option, then the base white hubcaps would have been on the truck originally (unless PO3s were also ordered separately).

If ordered as a Special Promo Pkg, then PO3s were included automatically - and would still show up on the SPID as RPO PO3.

Not applicable to your truck, but on a 1/2 ton, the same holds true except the PO3s were replaced by PA1s (Monte Carlo full wheel covers) when a Special Promo Pkg was the avenue to a plaid seat.

Bottom line - if your truck does not have PO3 on its SPID, it would have been delivered with white hub caps (note that all of the above discussion applies only to a Custom Deluxe trim level trucks - plaid not available on any other trim level, nor were the promo pkgs (Blazers were different)).
