I have the original wheel covers and they are in fine condition. The ones you got look great but I just want to get hub covers. Their web site is not playing well with my iPad so I will switch to computer later.

I was lucky enough to have some good weather and spare time today so I installed the center caps on my wheels. I had to touch up the paint where the simulators had scratches them. I cleaned the wheels, sanded with 600 grit and then painted with gloss white Rustoleum, using a good quality brush.
The paint leveled out nicely and matches pretty well. I really like the look of the center caps and how much easier it will be to access the valves. I'm also glad to get rid of the weight of the simulators.
The caps were purchased on eBay for $30.00 w/shipping. They are genuine GM parts and fit like a glove on my 2015 Express 4500 wheels.

How do they attach to the hub?
The ones I saw, I didn't check your link yet, mentioned the GM OEM were scratched but not bad if standing a few feet away.
Nice paint job.
As I mentioned earlier all they ones I saw claimed in small type that they were not for 4500 duel wheels.

The Chevy lug nuts have a threaded portion which accepts the captive nuts on the center caps. You have to thread the nuts on and tighten them down - a bit tedious, especially on the rear because they are recessed and hard to get started. Hopefully they won't have to be removed very often.
Check the link I gave, the seller states that the caps will fit 4500 wheels.

Just bought the same ones.
I also bought some ABS chrome trim rings.
My rig is buried right now so no pics.
I am going to install them and see if I like the white wheel look.
I will probably paint the wheels black to match my trailer.
Basically a silver/black/silver look - should match the graphics and black out trim on my rig.

Sounds like black wheels would be a good look with the graphics and trim on your rig. Trim rings will look nice with black, but might have less visual impact on white. Guess you won't know until you try. I'm looking forward to seeing pictures.

I will start a wheel thread when I get done.
Seems we hijacked Geeman's thread.
