Default Where is the best place to buy used hubcaps?

Usually I can find answers to questions like this on the internet, but it is failing me in this search. I'm coming up with plenty of places to buy new hubcaps, but not used ones.

My car lost a hubcap over the weekend and I want an original factory one to replace it. It doesn't have to be beautiful, most of my hubcaps are pretty scratched up from years of parallel parking anyway. But I do want to pefect fit and matching look for my other hubcaps, not one of the el cheapo packs of generic plastic hubcaps you can buy at Pep Boys.

Is there anywhere in Atlanta that sells a huge variety of used hubcaps? I can get it online, but a hubcap costs $15 to ship. Also, my car is 8 years old, so the body style hasn't quite made it junkyards yet. I already checked.

At this point I realize I probably won't save any money over buying it online and having it shipped, but the question just kind of became a point of interest and something that made me curious. It seems like I used to see guys who sold old hubcaps all over the place, but I don't see them anymore and don't know if they still exist.

Are there any left in metro Atlanta?

There is a place down on Stewart Ave in Hapeville called C&S Used Tires where I have found some good stuff from time to time.

There are some more places out along Moreland.

Yeah, I went to the place outside the perimeter along Moreland to get my alloy replaced. Can't remember the name.

Pull-a-part. One on the southside, one on the east, and one on the north.

Hub Cap Daddy? It's just north of 285 on Moreland. Maybe a mile south of the Starlight Six drive in.

My gut would say, the internet. Typically can find anything cheaper on it. Save money on gas as well.
