Default 98 Vanden plas; hubcap question {RESOLVED}

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but I just want to check with the experts before I spend Money and have to return a part (again).

My car is missing 1 hubcap. The ones on it look like this:
1998-2003 Jaguar Vanden Plas Hub Cap - Genuine W0133-1613747 - - PartsGeek.com

I found these in eBay and I like the way they look better (plus, I like the price better too) but I don't know if they will fit the car?
https://www.ebay.com/i/221440123307?...D1231979849664

Ugh, sorry for the crazy url. I don't know how to make it smaller, and I can't upload pics because my Internet is just far top crappy for that.

The main reason I am not sure is because the clips on the backs are different.
Should the eBay ones fit?

Thanks for your input

One is a hubcap one is a center cap. It will be too small to fit the center cap in the hub cap.

Well dangit! Thank you. I'm glad I decided to ask first.
Honestly, I assumed the terminology was just different from person to person... like trunk vs boot lol

Default Center Cap Crazy

Your present style hubcap has that type center cap. Those center caps are available in several colors, as both your "3-D Under Glass" or "Schematic Style Flat Paint". The center cap is attached rather firmly, & the force required to remove is almost exactly the force required to shatter the cap. (Use the three holes in back to push, instead of prying from front.)


If you retain this style hubcap, you can (roughly) match the center cap color to your car color.

Ron,

If 9under1roof doesn't want to buy three, maybe he will buy one of them. If that is the case, I'll buy the other two.

If 9under1roof doesn't want any, I'll take all three.

I'm missing two. The guys that installed the tires, failed to install the hubcaps correctly and 2 went missing on the drive home. Of course, they claim it isn't their fault and there is nothing they can do to 'help". In other words, they won't pay for their mistake.

Anyway, I will be happy to buy either two, or all three of your hubcaps. How much do you want for them?

Pete.
