You can always buy cheap center caps on Ebay, just make sure they're the same size as the ones on your 19s

Isn't yours a "sports" model by the look of the little emblem on the fender? Wasn't that suppose to come with 18" stock?

Yep - it did come with 18's but the original owner put 17's on. No idea why you'd get sport suspension and revert to smaller wheels. Now it's really tight!

I don't believe the UL was available with 18's, only 17's. You got 18's with the Euro tuned Sport Suspension.
