Interesting point about the black center caps! Attached are the original OEM silver caps. Where are these rims located? I haven't been able to conquer the art of "mind reading" just yet!

Any history behind them? Mileage, climate driven in, reason they're available, etc.?

Hi,
The wheels were bought out of Kansas from a high milage GT and had been painted
black. I found out that they didn’t fit my 2009 base Vibe. Rather than alter the setup
I decided to buy Enkei aftermarket wheels. In the meantime I cleaned the black paint
off and carefully removed the clear so that the spokes are now polished with Mothers Mag
and Aluminum Cleaner.
The “rash” on the wheels is minimal and I will be happy to send photos of each wheel.
I found that the standard wheel caps were costly and very hard to come by, so I took
OEM black Pontiac center caps reformed the aluminum outer cover over the reduced
plastic substrate so that they fit fine and look factory even though they are not factory
for the GT Vibe. I have one excellent factory correct silver wheel cap and two so-so
caps that are correct for 2009-10 GT Vibes that I will be happy to include.
I am just outside of St. Louis and regularly drive to Elgin, IL just outside of Chicago if
that might help.
