You're right, ford will charge you some stupid amount for them, maybe you could try a wheel dealer, like bob jane or something, since they have to supply these sorts of things with "copy" wheels, they might be able to source them for you...

So far so good.To replace the missing ones, you may want to try http://www.wheelking.com.au/ and get a price. Wheel King sells genuine Ford and Expensive Daewoo alloy rims with the centre caps.Good luck.
