Default Tercel Caps or a substitution with trim rings?

Hey, I saw the few posts about trim rings and such a while back, and got pretty interested in them and I'm finally thinking of buying em. I like the look of the rings, lugs, and center caps, but I also saw how some people were using tercel caps instead of lugs and center caps. Sadly, I've called and looked around the few junkyards we have here, and they don't "have anything that new". Yeeaah. So I was wondering if anyone had some extra tercel caps, could direct me to some, or if someone could give me something that has that same look... Just something about the matching chrome with the black in it looks really good to me on RS3's.

Oh, and I've already seen hubcaps.org, but it doesn't seem like they have them in stock, and if they do, that's REALLY expensive for some old scratched up caps. XP

So yeah, if anyone has some of those caps or something that will look good like it as a substitution, feel free to tell me. :D[/img]

Long story short, a Navigator took out the driver side quarterpanel causing approx $2k in dmg which required cutting out the old quarter and welding in a new one. The whole reason I bought the RS3.0 was I knew it would hold resale value when I went to get rid of it 2-3 years down the road. The paint would never look right and decided to cut my loss now instead of down the road when I get raped for trading in a repaired car. Ugh.

Maaan, that sucks about the wreck. Good thing you are OK though.

I'm still looking to buy some, so if anyone out there has some, drop me a line.
