FL BBS wheel caps

I've been trying to get my hand on some wheel caps for my 89 vert BBS wheels. I'm not specifically looking to have the ones that say Mazda or have the mesh; unless the caps with the mesh are the only ones that will fit. I've got some good info from different sites, but I was wondering if anyone knows the exact dimensions of the caps for the JJX15 ET40 wheels. I found some that I like that are 70mm on the front, 56mm on the back, and are style B. Just wanted to ask the experts before I buy the wrong thing.

Some things I've read:

"All the Mazda BBS caps are the same and interchangeable - Miata 14" and 15" BBS wheels, and FC RX-7 BBS wheels."
"Mazda wheels are all the BBS RZ variations"
"the pucks (not the full metal/plastic wheel caps) come in three sizes with the ones for the Mazda wheels being 70mm or 70.6mm, three prong, type B. Also from what I can tell and have been told is that the RZ puck is the same as the ones in the RS and RM series."

I have a set. The wheels are gone but still have the centers. I've always intended to sell them, just haven't gotten around to it.

Dang, just checked over at thE Bay. Do those things really sell for that much?

Yeah they're pretty expensive, that's why I'm asking for the size lol if I can't get some for a reasonable price then I'm going to get some that say bbs.
