I am restoring a 1958 Cadillac, and need to do something with the red caps in the center of the wheel covers.  Is there someplace that can repaint them?  Is there someplace that I can buy reproductions?  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Try McVeys or USA PArts Supply.  McVeys used to sell repros but had a dust up with GM over copywrite so they may not any more.  I think USA Parts Supply does.  Also you can try Coopers Vintage and see if they have any originals in better shape.  EBay is also a good source.
Also check Hemmings under their services section for someone who may restore such things.  All of the above are available on the web.

 I have the same problem with my 56 centers but I may use the originals as they are.  Its way too soon to tell.
