Default Lost 3 lug nut caps, will Corvette caps fit?

Tonight I found out I am missing 4 lug nut covers off of 1 wheel. Looking online I am seeing crazy prices for single caps, like 5 for $40 but painted plastic. West Coast Corvette however has them listed as chromed covers for $2.25 each or 20 for $29.95. Would these work? I am not seeing any sizing information just stating they fit 2000-2004 C5 and Z06 wheels. That is a lot better then other options I am seeing and extras would be nice. Are the stocks metal capped or painted plastic on a 2002 CETA?

I thought all WS6 wheels used black plastic caps that screw onto the lug nuts. I know they do on the '97-'00 style WS6 wheels.

This vendor has them in chrome as well. Those caps for the 'vette don't look right and probably don't fit properly.

Apologies for not updating the outcome. I found the replacements on Amazon: Dorman 611-639 Chrome 3/4" Hex M24-2.0 Mod Wheel Nut Cover, (Pack of 5), and for a reasonable price.

The CETA's had the metal capped plastic version for whatever reason (appearance). The issue seems to be what I was calling them, underlined and bolded the name as listed. Once I got the proper name and Dorman part number the magic of Google showed many options, all auto part retailers have them but Amazon was the least and free shipping next day. I now have extras and replacement if one gets damaged. I will have to alert the mechanics to this when getting tire balancing done as I suspect that is how they were lost/broken originally by the last owner. My daily driver came back from servicing and checking the valve stems all the caps were loose, I guess quality checks aren't what they used to be.
