Center Caps - Two Sources

My chrome Carrera Ss are about a week out from arriving so now I've turned my attention to finding chrome center caps with a painted crest (non-black). I've located 2 sources and wanted to know if anyone has had good / bad luck with either. They are GMP and Booth Design. Both want $90 for a set, so reputation will be the deciding factor.

The wildcard is Booth also has a set that has chrome around the outside edge with a black painted circle and a painted crest. Somewhere I saw a pic of a wheel with a similar cap and it looked good. Might really set off my new wheels. Haven't decided yet....

Your input is appreciated.

Jonathon - thanks for the heads-up. I just looked at GMP a little closer and theirs are $90 each also. Ouch!! Looks like my search continues...

dj - went with chrome b/c I thought it would look sharp with my Lapis blue. Plus you don't see Carrera Ss in chrome very often. I like to be different.

Well, if a new set will cost 400 (it hurts to say that), might as well go the extra 200 for the no turn center caps. Ive wanted those for a while now, but alas, no tengo dinero.

Not sure I want to lay out that much for center caps. Wheel Enhancements has a set for $280. At the moment, that looks like the lowest price.
