Default Correct Forula centercaps?

Hey everybody, my formula was ordered with the 16" painted rims, and I just bought a set of 17" polished aluminum rims today. Can anyone tell me what the part number is for the centercaps? Every eBay listing that I've looked at gives me a different part number, and when I look them up, they're all wrong. The red is pretty faded, and I would like to replace them if possible. Are these even the right centercaps? I can't seem to find any information on them besides the WS6 caps, but the car isn't a WS6. Thanks for any help or ideas.

So, I've learned some things, and just wanted to share in case anyone was interested in my journey. These are the correct center caps for these wheels, and I did find a new, less faded set, so I'm happy with that. They are not, however, the correct period wheels for my 2000. Even though these came off of a 1999 Trans Am, they belong to 01/02 cars, but they'll fit my car anyway and I like them a lot better than what she was ordered with. Have a great day everybody!

Where did you find them? Junkyard or reproductions?

Facebook marketplace! It's been a wonderful resource many times. This person bought a '99 that came with another set of wheels, and he didn't want to keep the stock wheels so he sold them.

Well, it's been a while, but here's an update. Last week I ordered the tires for the new wheels, and put them on the car. I also applied the pillar bird decals that I bought five years ago finally. I love all of it!
