Unanswered: Center caps

I posted a want ad for these but couldnt post a picture.
Looking for 4 matching center caps that will fit Western style slotted mags. They snap in from the outside and fit in a 2 3/4" center hole. Cant find anything online or local that will work. Dont have to be new, just better than what Ive got.

Duane;
I don't know who it was on this site, but, they found some stainless steel salad dressing bowls worked great in those slotted mags

I guess these might be referred to as salad dressing bowls,

I like these better,

Not snap in, but with a little fabricating or hunting down the mounting hardware I think these would look great,

Yup, it was Dean, then he added blitz emblems to them in a matching color to his car. They looked pretty good. Dr. Dean is very detail oriented and turning into a good mechanic too. Another discovorery of his worth mention is the rear speaker cover area. Very nice

Wow, I'm impressed...68 cent stainless steel cocktail cups and a little epoxy glue. They look fine and what a conversation piece, priceless. And I thought I was frugal and/or inventive. Opeldean is the man
