    Hub caps either from a dealers or just buy a complete set elsewhere.

    You need to show patience, they will come. I think i knew of every smashed Cherokee that had suitable parts a few months ago. But it did take me over a month to get all the bits together.

    In the end I had to buy 5 wheels and tyres because I couldsn't find the correct alloy I needed and they were still cheaper than a new one from the dealer.

    Here are a couple tips for EBay:-

    Check items that haven't sold they might still be available
    If you find some closely related parts contact the seller he might have the bits you are looking for.

    Once did this and the seller took the p. Item start price was something like £40 no reserve, noone bid, and the item had been listed numerous times. In light of this I hoped to get the item for £40, as soon as they mentioned £100 there were no more e-mails from me, lol.
