Subject:Re: In Search of Center caps for SA Alloy Wheels

Me too. I'm just looking for a set of 5.

FWIW, the US caps will fit on the 15" wheels, but will be a bit loose.
The reverse is NOT true. The SA caps won't fit standard 14" alloys. The
SA caps have also been painted with a nice pearleseque silver paint
(which matches the wheels) and looks better in my opinion than the
standard allows paint.
