I was pumped to have gotten the center caps in today. Unfortunately the box looked smashed. And not surprisingly, when i opened it up one of the caps was smashed to pieces...SUCKS. But its not the senders fault, he packed them well, those stupid DHL guys.... Oh, and excuse their appearance, they are getting painted to match the LC rims which are at the powder coater now being done in graphite.

I bought them from desertdude on ih8mud and he is a great guy. He said he's going to call DHL tomorrow and get some money back for me. Thats all great and everything, but now i'm one center cap short.

I sure hope so, i'm sure i'll be ok, especially since i am in no rush to get the wheels on. They wont be on for a couple of months so in the meantime i'll keep looking...

if you need another center cap I have 3 extra laying around. They are all silver with the toyota symbol in gold, they don't have the black center like the ones you have pictured. I have them left over from when I powdercoated my wheels. shoot me a PM if you're interested.
