I'm not worried about the ends being blank. I'm going to put spinners on them.

$45 bucks for one is pretty pricey

I read that as $45 for all four caps, plus 12 bolts (fasteners) and shipping.

the only thing I see that I would not buy these is that they are plastic. (abs)

I bought these and since they dont bottom out on the rim they crack when you tighten them down. They need to have a spacer or washer under the cap to prevent cracking. I still have mine and I am going to be posting them up on the classified section for 25.00 plus shipping and the come with the center stickers.

A spacer under the bolt that attached the cap to the wheel?

How come they don't bottom out on the wheel? Aren't both surfaces flat?

I take it since you're selling that you can't make it work?

The area where you put your bolts is shorter and are not very flexible. I went to a couple of auto swaps and bought the real deal for about 10.00 bucks a piece then cleaned them up with steel wool and metal polish.
