So my wheels aren't in great shape or anything, they're old, and pretty beaten up, but they're my wheels, and up until today, they were sporting a nice matching set of center caps. Sadly, I made the mistake of having my local Sears balance one of my wheels because some monkey had used a clip on wheel weight on it the last time, and not only did it look like shit, it wasn't balanced very good.
The good news, the wheel is nicely balanced now, no more vibration over 55 mph. The bad news, shortly after I got the car back, I went to the car wash, where I noticed that the center cap was missing off the wheel that they balanced. Of course, after being on hold for ten minutes, and then being hung up on, when I finally managed to get an answer out of them, they assured me that the tech had reinstalled the center cap. Well it isn't on there now. I drove back over the route I had followed when I left the shop, with my wife, and daughter looking along the road side for the missing cap. We managed to find several small, roundish, silver colored objects, including a lug nut, and a 3/4 inch socket, but not my center cap.
I've spent the last hour and change searching the internet for a Motegi MR3 center cap, they are NOT easy to find. As a matter of fact, I didn't turn up a single center cap that looks anything like the ones on my wheels. So, if anyone stumbles across my center cap, or one like it, give me a holler.
