Default where to get centercap

I just notice the centercap is missing from one of the wheel on my z,
and the stealership wants $30 for one! WTF!?
I search on ebay but I couldn't find it with the right part number
which is 40342 AU511 (according to the parts guy @ stealership)

anyone know where I can get one cheap? thanks in advance...

the center caps are pretty hard to take off without the wheel off??

did they pop them out with a screw driver and distroy the wheel?

or maybe one of the plastic tabs was broken off by someone when they changed your tires?

i dunno man...i had them one day...and then the next day they were gone, just the front two...there were a couple of divits in the wheel around where the center caps go but nothing really bad or anything...so they must have popped them off i'm assuming, some people are such ******

Did you get new tires recently? Back when I had my '90 300ZX, I lost several of those centercap puppies (they were $15 back then, which seemed outrageous for a piece of plastic). Anyway, I think a lot of guys who change tires are pretty rough with the center caps, which makes them loose. Eventually, they just fall off. I'm thinking I'll take off the center caps myself next time I need new tires.
