    The wheel cap on one of the wheels is cracked badly, and another beginning to show some de-lamination as well. Does anyone know where I can find replacements and to have them replaced here in the greater Seattle area? At Speedware?? or Tru-Line?? TIA.

    Anthony,
    You may be in luck my friend! Ricambi America has them on sale for $35 each, and if ordered before 3pm tomorrow (Monday 4/11) you get free shipping too! These things sell for $55 to $60 at the dealer these days.

    I just emailed the owner, to check if they indeed fit the TR. I'll post back with his response.

    Here's the reply:

    Dave -

    Amazingly, Ferrari actually produced a part with widespread utility!
    These are OEM center caps and fit just about everything from carb'd 308's
    through the 360 Modena. Some 456's had a silver cap originally, and I
    have a customer in Hawaii who confirmed this 108947 is also a suitable
    replacement for those.

    Best Regards,
    Daniel

    Dave, you are quicker than the drive by wire system, talk about a quick response. Seriously, thanks a million for pointing me in the right direction, I will call tomorrow to order them.

    One other question, do they just pop in and pop out like a conventional wheel cover?

    Dave made a tiny mistake on the free shipping -- it expired at 0600EDT (this morning). No biggie. If you place the order today, don't worry about the shipping. I'll intercept the order and remove the charges for you.

    Kind Regards,
    Daniel

    Just want to say a sincere "thank you" to both Dave and Daniel. I took the car to Discount Tires today and they put the new caps on for me and they look great!!

    One other thing, I have had bought several sets of tyres from Discount Tires for multiple cars through the years, and they have always been extremly helpful and friendly. And I am talking about the crews from 3 different locations, I must say, I am pretty impressed with them.
