I received my AllExpress center caps today. I ordered them on March 29th. I expect that the shipping delay was related to the pandemic. The photos in post #22 show the difference between the OEM and the replacements. I am considering two options:
1. Replacing the damaged center cap plus the undamaged (but fading) center cap on the same side of the car. That way the contrast in the appearance between the OEM and the replacement won’t be obvious to the casual observer.
2. Trading two of my AliExpress center caps for one OEM center cap that is in good condition.

If anyone wants to consider a trade, please send a PM to me.
