junk yards are you best bet... but you'd be surprised which ones fit from other vehicles too so measure them and look for something that works

don't really know of anywhere that actually sells them besides maybe the dealer themselves

Or maybe you could replace them all with aftermarket center caps.

thanks for answering the question guys i'll have to check junk yards on the net or mybe ebay. nissan 720's are hard to come by in WV and the parts are even harder to find.

They are scarce here in florida as well! I walked the local junk yard one morning for 3 hours before finding 2! They were pretty much picked clean!!

This is the easiest and best bet as these truck parts are getting so hard to find.
