Center caps for factory wheels and Floor Mats
 
Are there any other style center caps for the factory wheels other than what I have on my 2000? I've seen another one here on someones car but they could have been custom made?

Also, I have the original floor mats with the SSEi logo in them but they are in the condition you'ld expect for 85K miles- I could not find them on the GMPARTS site (they have the carpets), anyone know if these are available anymore? Or am I relegated to going to my dealer?
Thanks!!

You can try eBay and see what you can find.

The SSEi branded floor mats might only be a dealer available item. I'm in need of replacing mine as well. If you find a source...post it up!

Thanks guys! I'll doo some digging.

OK, since I'm a noob-what is the "Salad Shooter" wheel?

I thought so! they do look like the business end of a food processor!

also referred to as the swoopie wheels i already had to replace one due to bad crew at a shop that inspected it got the caliper right through the dish of the wheel kind of an expensive oops for them

Leonardo 09-26-2009 04:01 PM

Ouchy! I could see that. I pulled all the wheels and checked pads and man, there is like no clearance on the front calipers. Easy to shorten a finger in there if not careful.

ya my caliper was on the left rear that ate the wheel all though i think im going to get rid of my swoopies for some 18" gxp or other wheels

As far as your floor mats are concerned, they were still available at the Stealerships a few months ago and were less than $100 for the set of four.
