Hi BADASSSVT!
Here are two options:
1. Call Tire Rack (888-541-1777) and speak to someone in their purchasing activity. (yes. They sell the caps I posted the photo.)
2. Go to the F150 Online Digital Marketplace ( https://www.f150online.com/store/index.html ) it's right here. Speak with Roger Lemere, they sell Lightning wheels in two flavors plain and with a chrome topping . they may be able to sell the caps to you too.

Hi again BADASSSVT!
I don't know what to tell you on the Tire Rack issue. I have always found the Tire Rack to be very helpful.Just follow the second lead in the previous post and send e-mail to Roger (roger@f150online.com) at the F150 Online Digital Marketplace. Both Roger and Steve are very helpful (please check old posts and you will see)and sending a little money their way is a nice way to say thanks for this cool message board. Hey! Goodluck you'll get there.

Hi BADASSSVT
I just spoke with Roger too and he told me he provided you with a source. Good luck and let us know the results. I will also call the Tire Rack and see if they had a change in policy on selling just the caps. I'll let you know what I find out.

Hi BADASSSVT !! and anyone else looking for Chrome Lightning Caps.
I did some checking and here is the deal.
Yes. You can get Chrome caps from "The Tire Rack" . This is what you need to do. Call Customer Services at the Tire Rack and ask to speak to Dawn, she does the ordering of these special items. It will take about five weeks to have the caps chromed and then shipped to you. The quality is good (I posted the photos) and I have never had a problem with the Tire Rack. Now you have two options. Good luck in your choice.

Thank you babolt very much. every lead i have had has fell through. ive been calling all over the u.s. for these . I finally got the tire rack to send some out to be chromed. its going to cost me $147 to my door.im exited because i know no one in my area is going to go thru the hastle of searching as hard as i did.which means im going to be the only one with chromed factory lightning wheels anywhere near me!!. i could not have done it without your help. thank you very much.within two months im going to be sportin around in a white lightning with chrome wheels and a cobra AAD F1 hood. it should look nice!!the caps are going to take 5 weeks and the hood 3-4 so im off the road while the snow is blowing---so what!!

Hi BADASSSVT!
You are welcome.
Now do me a favor. Send me a photo of your Lightning or post it to the Zing site http://www.zing.com (mikesmotorsport) with a brief description. When all of your cool mods are done I would like to see another one too. Thanks.

Question

Center caps chromed? Well I have done more research but I need your guys help on this. I see from the earlier post that Tire rack will have them done for $147.00 including shipping. Can anyone tell me how long does it take and how are they done? Are they done like most plactics are done with the vacumm process? If so please email me I think I can do a little better then there price, I just want to make sure we are talking apples to apples!

Hey Roger,
It seems like BASVT found them for somewhat less. He may have some info.

ROGER,
I ordered them through the tire rack. They cost me $147.35 to my door. they are a vacuum process. done in clifornia.The only problem is they tale 5 weeks!!!my wheels are being chromed by a local wheel company. When i sent them in they said they could not do centers so i rushed around and tried EVERYWHERE!!!!.aFTER CALLING THE TIRE RACK 5 TIMES. i FINALLY GOT THEM TO SEND SOME OUT TO BE CHROMED.so i am still waiting. Meanwhile my local dealer can have the same process done for $90 and you get you to keep your own centers! save $60.email me at NOGYPC@AOL.COM if you want some no waiting , they are alredy in stock ,$90 and your on your way.The only reason i didnt switch is because tire rack helped me when no one could. BUT , i will be ordering from my dealer from now on as they fade with washes.

$90 no waiting , no hassles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
same process!
