Slotted Mags on my 68. Now I need center caps!

I finally was able to complete my slotted mag wheel set for the budget I was planning.  I found them on Craigs List after searching for 4 months and found the tires used.  The front tires have some age on them plus I need something larger but these will do in the meantime.  They are 15x8.5 and 15x7 with 275/60 Rears and 215/65 fronts.  After about 10 hours of polishing I put them on last weekend.  I need to find some center caps!!!  They are Western wheels with a 3 3/8 center hole.  I think I need the push/snap-in style.  Anybody know where I can get a set?

And it looks like someone in the 2nd pic wants to go for a ride!
Is that color QQ1?  Looks great with the black vinyl.

Funny, these guys are 30 miles away from me in Ellensburg, WA.  Sounds like they have them for $65 each....ouch!  Looks like he has some really nice stuff though.  I love torque thrust mags too!!

No rubbing yet but I haven't had anybody in the back or gone over big bumps yet.  But it's close.  The rims are all 3 3/8" backspace.  4" would be better.  If they rub it will be on the outside inner fender.

The n.o.s. Western caps that I have are different, sorry.

Well, the longer I have these the more I don't like them.  I thought I'd like tall back/short front style tires and slot mags but I don't. I think I like stock looking rims and the large tire look better.  I think I'm going to go with a Magnum 500 295/50 and 245/60 look instead.  So even though I spent a ton of time finding these I'm going to do something different.  Anybody interested in the setup?  I spent around $700 for everything.
