I have to say, that the C5 Martin hub cap centre pieces are the best I personally have seen.  They're the closest match to the originals, if not better in some respects.

However, whilst they're not to everyone's taste, I think it's unlikely you'll be able to source the originals separately, without having to purchase them from Adam Harper - http://www.sinclair-research.co.uk/c5/partslist.php

I think they're quite expensive to buy though though - hence why there has been research and development by C5 Martin, to bring us a suitable alternative.

Their are some new old stock wheel covers on e-bay, they not cheap, but you might get them cheaper, worth sending the seller a offer maybe ?

Centre hubs, whilst they have a part number and are shown on the parts diagram as a separate item were in fact never realeased as an item.  Buying brand new means buying an entire new hub costing around £40 each wheel.

As parts run out Adam has told me that the price will go up, I don't know what his stock levels are like, but if you want new ones - now is the time to get them.

Ebay is your best option for second hand ones. One thing is for sure you will have to buy the full cap dude.

As it says in the listing, they are a cheap alternative to the originals and at £2 a side are a bit of a bargain ;

Certainly a lot better than having nothing fitted at all.
