Default D90 wheel centercaps picture request

I'm looking to try some aftermarket centre caps for my D90 wheels. Mine are a mix match of OEM and aftermarket and I want something more uniform. I found a supplier who has two versions of convex caps. One has a shallow ring clip the other has a deeper plastic clip. My car is currently in storage and I was wondering if someone could post a photo of the rear of there centre cap?

I have three sets like these in the pics. The back retainer is just a spring steel cup with three (small) dimples. You can't see the dimples in the pics. They are pretty heavy. Not plastic; probably cast aluminum like the wheels.

Thanks! I will send that to the distributer and see which version is a match.

Very much appreciated.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but jpk - any chance you still have any of those center caps and would be willing to sell one? I had one fall off my D90 and am having a hard time finding one that is in decent condition. Or if anyone that sees this thread has one or knows where I can find one please let me know. The one I need is exactly like what jpk posted - cast aluminum with a spring steel cup retainer.

They're all over eBay for $20 - $25 each. Or hit up Lart or one of the other parters. It's the same cap as a phone dial.

I bought some from Plyhammer a couple years ago, hit them up with Scotchbrite and then rubbing compound, they shine. But for a D90 you might want to paint them with the same silver paint as the D90.

Thanks Kurt - yeah I ended up finding some on eBay that were in decent shape and seem to match my D90s.
