Also pulled the trigger on these Italian knockoffs on Ebay while I was sitting here at the dealership because the entire set was cheaper than just a single OEM wheel center cap. I figure they have to be better than the Chinese knockoffs, or maybe like an Italian they will just cause my car to spill oil all over my driveway, overheat and require an engine overhaul every 10k miles.

Impressions on the NT555s after I get a chance to drive on them. I saw the tech who I have befriended in the back while I was dropping off the tires and he said that a computer update for the differential control module came out shortly after he replaced my diff, so that might also help the cold judder issue. I think they are going to go ahead and reprogram it while I am here. Sweet!
