Been searching the Internet with various search strings trying to find the name or source of these center caps that hide the lug nuts. Need a name of the style or a source please :)

once you go black, you never go back! :)
JC, are you saying those are actually covers? Not rims with center caps?
I like that PREVOST that comes with those "hub caps". :)
Looks to me like polished aluminum allow wheels such as Alcoas maybe, with nice hub caps that fit over the nuts.

That does look sharp, but, kind of hard to check the lug nuts during a pre-trip. Not for me. When you're driving a 30K to 50K vehicle I pre-trip just like a semi truck.

thanks dave
I have a set of four I would like to part with if you are interested. They're in decent shape and include the brackets for lug-centric wheels. PM me if interested, Scott.
Kitt, I'm after a specific style that hides the lug nuts like the photos I posted. Are yours this style?

Scott, yes they are the same. I tried to upload a photo but Tapatalk keeps coming up with an error that I can't upload to the forum. As soon as I figure something out I will get you a photo.

The hideaways covers like you are looking for Scott only work with hub pilot wheels I am told,the base goes behind the lug nuts and the cover snaps on they don't work with a tapered nut
Cliff, the ones I have use a bracket with a taper to fit the wheel and nuts on a lug centric wheel.

I believe the ones pictured on the Prevost are purchased from T.K.Kane www.tkane.com (http://www.tkane.com) 800-550-2466. They are stainless steel very durable but a pain to remove & replace, also very expensive I have them on my coach & lost one on the rear driver & it was $180.00 for replacement of that one, probably about 6 yrs ago. I made a special tool to remove them they use a allen wrench for that
Scott, here's a photo with them in my bus before I took them off:

And here are the parts (the nuts and bolts are on the hubcaps):

Two brackets are used per wheel with three lug nuts over each. The nut (inside the hubcap) slides down into the groove on the bracket and then tightened with an allen key. I believe the caps are stainless steel.

Yeah, if only I could just upload the pics from Tapatalk and not spend my entire day making a single post...
I added direct links to the photos on Dropbox.
