No idea when they started using this. Judging by the manufacture date on the back of the center caps, I'm guessing sometime in late 2007, early 2008.
My old style ones are completely chipped & flaked so much, to the point that the entire chrome ring portion of the sticker is gone.
It's really up to your dealer as to how much they want to gouge you. Another guy said that his local dealer in Eastern Canada was only charging $5/each.

check the logo on the back tab! Oh, and the best part about getting new ones is that I can smash my old ones with a hammer rather than remove the wheel.
