454 ss wheels cap options on ebay

I recently acquired a set of 454 ss wheels at an inexpensive price. Are these a good option for center caps?

Or even these astro van caps?

The ones in your first link are what you need and the price is great. You will also need special wheel nuts with the thread on the outside of them so the black plastic nuts ( which are included with the Ebay caps ) will screw on to them.

These are the correct caps, if that's what you're going for, aside from the sticker in the center of them. The 454SS caps just had a red outline bowtie. But, aside from the sticker (and black caps on early 454SS and some other trucks), all steel wheel trucks used the same caps.

These are a popular alternative for people running SS/Sport wheels and other steelies. They're still an OEM part, but give a slightly different look than the standard caps.

Thanks for the input guys.
I can buy new GM ones from work but it'll cost about 35 a cap so I figured these eBay ones would work just as well. They also have a set of lug nuts for 25.00.
