Where to find center caps?

My new wheels (RH Evolution C3's) arrived yesterday after months of waiting only to be dissappointed to see that the box they were in was beat to hell.:disappoin Subsequently, 3 of the center caps were missing (they must have fell out of the giant hole in the bottom of the box that I discovered as my cat climbed in and out of it). By this I mean the caps that screw on to the center of the wheel and keep the cap that covers the lugnuts in place. Well, my question is, does anybody know where I can buy these? I notified FedEx and they said it would take a whopping 4-6 WEEKS for any action to take place and I do not have the patience for that. Sorry to offend anybody but I discovered that they really suck in every package delivering way, FedEx that is.:disappoin Any help would be appreciated. Center caps from anywhere will due, as long as they can screw on to my wheels!

Did you buy them new? If so, you may be able to just contact the supplier and tell them you never recieved them. That's probably quicker than going through Fed-Ex. Man, you're the 3rd person on this forum that had a problem with Fed-Ex.

I didn't buy them new but from a private party which is a whole other problem/story itself. Do you suppose if I contacted a supplier that sold these particular wheels they would sell me a new set of caps? Might as well try I suppose...

About Fed-Ex: what is someone to do if they are waiting on something they REALLY need. We have to wait 4-6 weeks because of their mistake? Please.

Why not just go to a wheel and tire shop and tell them your problem. They should be able to order the caps for you. It may be a little easier than trying to do it yourself.
