UnkleKraker, you can get some very nice colored factory center caps from Sunset for about $135 a set. There are two types... mine have no ring around them, and no holes and are made out of metal, not plastic. They are painted to match the rims too.
No pull holes = much harder to steal.
I bought a set of center caps the day I bought my carrera lights from the same place you bought them. The other posters are right... the ones that come with the rims suck! But they aren't stickers. They're screen printed and scratch off quite easily.
As far as tires go, he was selling them with Hancock or whatever tire and I just called after the auction closed and said "how much to upgrade to PS2's?
$2300 shipped to me with PS2's.

Thanks Randall for the tip. I didnt know that there are 2 types of center caps. So when I order it thru Sunset, should I mention about "no pull holes"?
I was going to upgrade for a better tire but gotta save some for wifeys set Gucci bag (she's been wanting to get those for years now) and to replace her beat up Gucci key chain...I just want to make sure that she's happy before I pull the trigger for next years GT3 kit

I have the same wheels you have (your old ones) and like the ones you're getting! Those are the ones I want! Sadly, I doubt my bonus in a couple weeks will be much, if anything at all.

Unkle, I will dig up the part number (I still think I have the box in my tool chest) and photograph the center cap for you and post it here.
I think my caps are the best looking ones out there. Big logo, full color, painted metal cap, no holes, etc.
The only problem is that without pull holes, you have to remove the rim to get them off without damaging the rim prying them out.

Got my bonus on the 5th. Unfortunately, my mechanic told me that the "transmission flex plate" was cracked on the Benz and would cost around $2000 to replace ( have to drop the transmission to fix ).
So looks like the muffler, intake, and chip for the Box will have to wait 
Plus, I only took home 62% of my bonus after taxes
