Default I Just Arrived... 04-29-2019 (Mon.)

Hello all.
I have been reading here @ BlazerForum.com the past few days as I have recently purchased a 2000 Chevy Blazer LS 4WD V-6 4.3L [stock, 145,000 miles].
So much useful information from you all has been gained! I just had to join to thank you all.
This is my 1st day here: 04-29-2019 (Mon.), a brand new Member.
I appreciate this Forum & thanks to all Members (& thanks also to those involved in its creation).

Be well.

Glad to have you! You'll start out as the one asking questions, but after awhile you'll turn into the one giving the answers lol

Thank you for the warm welcome.
As I have been turning wrenches for 30+ years, I might just have a few answers as well as those questions... well, as to mechanic questions in general, the few answers I mean.
I look forward to enjoying this Forum. < I have so far, it has a wealth of information which is greatly appreciated.

Hello again.


Well, here we go (LOL), I do have a question:
I have one wheel/rim center cap missing on my 2000 Chevy Blazer [S10] LS 4WD. I have searched this site (somewhat) but have not seen any posts as to my style/type I need.
I was hoping (please) for some assistance to locate one &/or a description as to its part#, etc. so I can possibly find one.
I am attaching a picture of the wheel/rim type/style... the picture isn't the greatest though (as to a close-up of the wheel/rim). It is an actual pic of my vehicle.

Thank you in advance for any help. :-)
Be well.

*Edit to add: I hope I'm posting this in the right location/area. If not, sorry about that.
*Edit to add (2): The cap is 2- 5/8", measures approximately 2(&) 5/8" in diameter (across front/face surface, side-to-side). A Chevy bow-tie style, sliver in color, A 15" wheel.
It inserts into the rim/wheel center. I think the current other 3 are plastic... seems that way when tapped on. No safe way to remove any of the other 3 without damaging them, I tried (< to attain a part #).

Mine was missing a wheel when I got it, I found a matching one on ebay for like $50, might try there. I just searched through all the "S10 Blazer wheel" search results, till I found one that matched.

Update:
I found 1 option, so far... OE Part Number: 15661129
Product: Center Cap (Single)
Material: Plastic
Finish: Brushed Stainless Steel
This/the site I've found wants $55.95 for one. :-O I'm not ready to spend that for 1 cap, LOL!
I'm continuing my search & will advise.
*Edit: Next info: @ GM Parts Direct:
Hub Cap - GM (15661129), Discontinued Part, No Longer Available For Purchase
:-/

Thank you (thank you to BF Member(s), no thanks intended to GM for discontinuing my part needed).
