Do they make hubcaps for DRWs?

Hi, guys;

This seems like a trivial issue, but we got a 2017 T-350 HR EL at auction, and it's lacking any kind of hub covering on the rear wheels. Seems odd that they wouldn't want to keep road salt and muck off the lug nuts, but the dealership can't find any reference to DRW hub caps. No luck looking on line yet (OEMparts.com, Ford Parts Giant) either. Admittedly, I haven't tried seeing if the front salad bowls might fit on the rears too... Any experience with this?

Cheers,
Geoff

Here they be! Pretty blingy, eh?! Thanks for the tip, Sam.

For anybody who gets these, know they are just shiny plastic and take a gentle touch to put in without cracking. Found this out the hard way on hubcap #1, put a small fracture next to a vent hole, dammit. No rubber mallet, you want just the heel of your hand massaging them in.

That quibble aside, it was a nice quick aesthetic upgrade.

Cheers All,
Geoff

As fragile as they are, I'm not sure they'll survive too many de- and re-installations when we need to get to the valve stems or change a tire...we'll cross that bridge.
