Default Center Cap Help

Hey guys, I have a question I know some of you may have the answer too.

I have 20 inch Bullitt replicas, and I want to replace the center caps with the Bullitt running horse caps. However, I cannot find them for under a 100 bucks a set. Does anyone on here have these, and know where to get them for cheap? Below is a link to the caps I want. They need to be 2.5 inches in dia. Thanks!

I had to buy center caps for mine as well and the cheapest I could find was around $75. I ended up getting a set on ebay for about $20. I would look there first.

I checked ebay, but everything I find is 2 1/4 inch, too small. On top of that, they are not the running horse type. I'll keep my eyes open. Thanks for the input!

I don't know where to get them cheaper but here's a little advice for you...

I silicone them in. When I have to change tires, it's a little bit of a PIA to get all the silicone cleaned off but I have had my center caps stolen twice and lost them a couple other times that make the little extra effort of silicone worth while...

I wonder what size my shelby Gt500 replica wheel center cap is. The ones that came with it are ugly

There are individual however. Partscheap.com has the 2 1/4 inch center caps. The only places I could find these are southermustangparts.com, cjponyparts.com. Nowhere else. I might take the hit, and go with the cheaper ones at cjpony parts.com They are 18.99 EA. However, they did not have a good picture and description of these caps.

The center cap you linked was the stock center for the Ford 18" Bullitt. It has the chrome ring around it that will cover part of the center bore. MOST aftermarket wheels will accept the Bullitt center cap used from 2001-2004. It does not have the chrome ring and is about $20.
