Default Some POS stole one of my center caps

07 LTZ burb with stock 20's and i get out this morning to notice that one of my caps is missing. I hate scum! I wouldv'e mopped the floor with them would i have caught them!! Is it really that necessary to take from good people? why not go to the stealership and do that? they can easily replace things like that. now i gotta go spend $50 for a stupid piece of plastic! ARGGGGG!!!!

Sure enough EBay has them Chevy Center Caps 20 | eBay

I also checked Amazon, didn't find the caps but found the entire set (4) with caps (no bowtie sticker) in the polished chrome, they look sweet!

Glad to hear you got a good resolution.

I'm thinking about finding some "stock" wheels that do not require a center cap at a junkyard, Craigslist or ebay. Even more so after I did something stupid today. I cleaned the inside of one wheel with Carb-out carburetor cleaner. It ran to the outside and stripped the paint off...so I now have some white spots on one of my wheels. I may just find one more and use the "bad" one as a spare instead of the steel spare.

Don't use Carb cleaner on aluminum wheels!

yeah it's just the point and hassle. a few months ago a buddy went on vacation and left his 09 maxima parked for a week. it's the sport version with 19's on it. only to come back and find all four wheels missing and of course the car was laying on the rotors because the idiots used milk crates to hold it up. smh. i know sh/t happens but around me it's a little too often

Taking the higher road, the path less travelled, may be a little harder but has much better dividends! Keep it up, one little thing at a time! If you fall, pick yourself back up and keep going in the correct direction.
