Default I need a center hup cap for a 2003 Blazer w/GM mag style 15" wheels.

This is the first time that E BAy Motors has let me down. I requested a 2.5 inch center hub cap for a 2003 S-10 Blazer with stock 15 inch mag style wheels. They sent me a choice of 2008-2017 3.25 inch center hub caps in brushed aluminum with a gold color Chevy bowtie. Now these years of Silverado /Seirra have wheels that are 18, 20, and 22 inch wheels. Not the small 15 inch wheels on my 2003 S-10. I have tried to explain to the Ebay Motors and their suppliers than my center hup cap is only 2.5 inches, not 3.25 inches. They contnue to send me the photo's and info on 2007 -2014 Tahoes and Silverados hub caps in the larger 3.25 inch size. To make it worse, some of these suppliers have a 'NO RETURN' policy for these hub caps.
To make it perfectly clear, the brushed aluminum look is right, the gold color Chevy bowtie is right, but the 3.25" diameter is too big.for my 2003. My 2003 has stock GM mag-style 15 inch wheels has only 2.5 inch hub caps.
Question: do you know of a source for 2.5 inch center hup caps in brushed alum. look with gold color Chevy bowties for a 2003 Chevy ? These are for the 15 inch mag style wheels by GM. Thanks, Jim

I have still been unable to find the smaller center hub caps for my 2003 S-10 with GM mag style wheels. The diameter of the center hub face is more like 2 5/8 inch. The center wheel hole is about 2.5 inch. or so. The E Bay Motors offers many center caps for the larger late model wheels trucks with 18", 20", and 22" sizes. These are the 3.25 inch center caps and are brand new and very reasonably priced. I see a single offer of a smaller size cap but in very rough used condition. Ironically these rough used caps are expensive. One cap in bad shape is as much as four of the brand new 3.5 Inch caps !

As I said earlier, my S-10 had GM mag style 15" wheels with center hub caps of approx 2.5 or 2.6" . Ebay listed many 3.25" center hub caps for about 23 to 26 dollars. They had only a few 2.5 " caps used and in poor condition for twice that amount!?!. Finally I saw some new ones without the brushed alum. and 'gold' bowtie logo but a SS as in Super Sport logo and at the $26 range. Close enough. I bought the set of 4 and it comes in next week. I will post if they 1/. fit properly and 2./ are good quality and brand new manuf.

Yes, I do need one. My 2003 S-10 has stock GM mag style 15" wheels with center hub caps that measure overall diam of 2.6 " approx. They are brushed aluminum look with a gold colored bow tie logo on it.
This is not the big cap with 5 plastic lug nut covers that screw onto the 'real' five lug nuts that you see on some steel wheels. It is a small 2.6 " snap on center cover that covers the hole in the wheel that allows access to the large center bolt that holds on the wheel bearing hub. I ordered from Ebay Motors a 4 pack of the 2.5 " covers as described above but they were too small. I really would like one that fits securely on my GM wheels. I have cleaned out my PM Folder so you can send me a Personal Message and I will sen my mailing address and other necessary info. Thanks a lot, Jim in SC.
P.S.---I sent a version of this message early this morning at 430 AM and it didn't get posted ? It was B.C. ---before coffee ! Thanks again, Jim

Oh, the cover with the 5 lug holes is what I got. My bad for misunderstanding. I was gonna send a picture of what I got but I now see it isn't what u are looking for. You need something similar to the center caps on my American racing rims. Sorry. I don't have those.
