Default Anyone here get their rim's center cap stolen?

Hi, my 94 gs-r is riding on 17-in. racing hart c5's. Unfortunately, one of my center caps was stolen recently (it's funny how 3 others were left alone). I'm looking for a replacement, but so far my internet search hasn't been a success. I've emailed a few sites asking if they sell the caps seperately, but I have yet to get a response. Has anyone here have had to go through the same problem? If someone can give me a website that carries what I need, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you.

perhaps it popped off while driving, when there stolen, USUALLY you end up with none left. as in all 4 gone.
I can help you with new ones however, i bought my rims off someone, and 2 caps were missing. so i went to my local Import Car/Tuning Shop to buy 2 more.

but you can only but centercaps by the set (x4). so i did. it costed me $75 for 4 round white pieces of plastic for my ICW Racing Rims. so i suggest just go to your local Import Shop, and have them order you some.

unless the wheels are discontinued....which if so, it will be EXTREMELY hard to locate them.

good luck!

Thanks for the reply. I suspect that the center cap was stolen, because one of my side markers (same side as the missing center cap, which is front passenger side) disappeared at the same time. My car was at a parking lot, so the thief was probably hiding between my car and another car next to it, and didn't have the guts to take all four.
It is impossible that it fell out while driving, because it is a screw-in type, and I found that all other center caps are still screwed in real tight. I will try to visit some local shops. Thanks again.

When I got new tires one of my center caps fell off at the shop and they lost it. So I hounded them until they ordered a new one for me. If they do come in packs of four, then that means they had three extra off my order. Might want to see if your local tire shop can help (this was at a Big-O)
