Default looking for spider caps

some of you might not know what im talking about, so ill include a picture at the end of this. but i am looking for spider caps for my steel wheels. most that i find are in the $130 to $180 range, and im really not looking to spend that much money on my steelies. so, my question to you fine folks is this: does anyone know where i can find plastic spider caps, or even cheaper steel or aluminum ones. im willing to pay up to $60. so please, toss me some links.

this is what im talking about

For the life of me, I cant find the damn auction again. It may have only been 1 or 2 for that price.

Holy shit are those things overpriced.

Just get some nice lug nuts and google 'wheel center caps' and you will have more economical options than you can shake a stick at.

not for steelies. most center caps need to pop up through the center of the wheel, but since vw has hubcentric wheels, thats not possible. i could just get chrome lug covers. but id much rather find some spider caps.

thank you for the links, but ive already found all those sites. im looking for a cheaper alternative. $155 for a set of center caps is a little ridiculous to me.

Making some seems to be the best alternative here.

If you do, post them up, I'd like to see how they look
