1998-2000 VE wheel covers question

I've been searching for wheel covers for the 1998 Corolla VE I just bought, but I am having a hard time finding any. Dealership wants $114 CAN EACH!!!! I've searched the junkers in person and I don't want to buy used over the web cuz I can't be sure of the condition. I've found a few places online that sell replica covers and I'm wondering if any of you have experience with these aftermarket replicas and what your opinions are. Also, these appear to just snap on. Is that how the OEM ones go on too? I don't care too much about the absence of the Toyota logo on the cap. Thanks for any help!

PS. I performed a search on the forum and did not come up with the answers I'm looking for, hence me starting a new thread.


Here is the link to one of the aftermarket wheel covers.

I go to the parts store once every 18 months or so and pick up a set of aftermarket rims for 20 bucks or so. They don't look exactly like the OEMs, but in my opinion, they look better than the OEM rims anyway.

I guess this was a stupid question? Oh well, took a chance and bought the wheel covers from ebay.

Wreckers. I got a oe set for 15. For another 1/2 hr effort and 8 dollar can of wheel paint, they could look new again to boot, vs 110 for one.....
