I'll get my caliper out tonight and measure them for you. Are you looking to make your own or buy aftermarket? Or are the original ones missing?

Just know they pop in place and are held there by a round spring from the back. So the interior circle diameter is needed and then they has to be a flang on the inside to then hold the spring to keep it in place. Not sure how well aftermarkets will fit in with that. I can get you numbers to if you need em.

Hey thats my wheel there! Cool!

Heres the backside picture that shows the clip holding the center cap in place:
