SS-GTP Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 To my understanding original OEM ones just have 1 cutout for prying the cap off. Your's have 2 notches suggesting to me there aftermarket (but maybe that was a design change) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matslp488 Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) the ones I found come from SAE Auto, the guys that sell all the oem cladding pieces so those gotta be oem also Edited September 27, 2017 by matslp488 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXGM Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 After checking out this part, the one I linked doesn't look authentic. It is not.... the GM ones have little metal tabs on the inside of the cap that hold the outside part on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they buy overstock parts. My stuff was new but not in a GM package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXGM Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 You can also tell the aftermarket ones have a more rounded hole vs the OE ones have a more rectangular hole that is more squared off to pry the cap off..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the comeback. I've actually got a set of silver caps but changed out my wheels to later model chrome. My silver wheels and caps are in my GF's barn and I haven't even looked at them in a while. Haven't looked at the chrome ones, up close, in a while either.
