I went ahead and ordered a set of plain chrome centercaps from a seller on ebay, says they'll fit: Camaro year 2000-2002, 5 spoke and 10 spoke wheels; Corvette C5 year 1997-2004, 5 spoke wheels; and Z06 wheels year 2001-2004, 10 spoke wheels

Hoping that OE kept the same size caps as the factory spec so they'll fit, if not I guess I'll just turn around and sell em. The wheels are due in Monday (weather permitting - had a lot of snow for this part of the country lately), I'll test fit the caps when they come in later next week and report back.

I am totally going to lose my 666 post count now...
Car looks great with the calipers painted. I forget the company that sells the overlays for the calipers but they are a great addition. I painted my calipers like this years ago. IMO two tone always looks better than all red.

One of the best indicators, to me, as to how well a company satisfies their customers is how they conduct themselves when something goes wrong. My rim was damaged during shipment and I called OEWheels and it was a breeze. They took care of my issue and got me rolling within a reasonable time frame. I was very happy with how they handled the situation.

Jus' my two cents. I can't wait to put on my 18" C5 Machined Black rims on this spring. Thanks OEWheels.

The wheels came in today, as well as the plain eBay centercaps that can be had for about $50 for a set (so you guys know which ones I'm referring to). I went ahead and installed the caps tonight. They BARELY fit. It's a tighter squeeze than the caps that OE includes, but it's doable if you're careful and patient. The 18x9.5s may be a slightly tighter tolerance, as they were a lil tougher to persuade on. I'm real happy with the plain centers though, and the wheel quality is excellent, despite the clowns at UPS dropkicking two of the boxes. Heres a quick pic, I'll have them on the car Tuesday-ish if the rear tires show up on time.
