FLIK Wasp Center caps - Need help finding replacements

Anyone know where I can find replacement center caps for 17" Flik Wasps? Mine were starting to peel... I tried peeling them off thinking I could just cover them up with vinyl or something else but the parts that weren't peeling were stuck on there tight. So, long story short, parts of the original are still stuck on there even after goo gone and lots of rubbing. I just want to find 4 inexpensive replacements that look good (preferably black).

If I recall correctly, Edge Racing sells Flik wheels. Talk to them about replacement center caps. They've changed the caps, according to them because of the durability problem, and I just got a set of the new ones in the mail from them.

You know, my SSR center caps break regularly. I've made all sorts of repairs to them, and I just couldn't keep up anymore. More recently I have come to terms with my "center craps"... I've let them go.

It's not my place to tell you what to do with your life. But, take it from me, let them go, you'll be happy you did. My wheels look better without them, or so I've convinced myself!

Unless things have changed since the last time I tried that I would advise
you to just pick up the phone and call them. They don't keep up with their
email very well. They do have replacement center caps and I think they
are about $20 for a set of 4.

Give them a call. They have 5 super sexy girls there maning the phones
I was pleasantly surprised when I went to pick up my Autox tires.

I called last night. Set of 4 - $25. Seemed high but I went for it. The super sexy woman who answered the phone - her name was Ted (or Bob or Bill or Matt)! Imagine my disappointment. Thanks for the build up lexlow .

Should have told them you weren't going to spring for $25 unless you got to talk to the sexy girl.
