That's fucking ridiculous.

Yeah they can get expensive I have seen the rare cobra r emblem caps go for $100+ per cap since ford wouldnt sell them without the wheels which were also ridiculously expensive at the time.

I seem to remember someone making those caps by making a vinyl decal applying it to a cap and then clear coating it. I will see if I can find it.

Here is the site that makes the decals you can design our own using their program or upload graphics etc.

hey another option, i have aftermarket wheels with 2 1/2" holes. i got a set of 4 new oem center caps off ebay from a ford dealer for $100 for a 01-04. its all black and clear dome with no chrome edge. they fit the wheels perfect.
