only way to find out is to measure that opening in the rim and buy one of those caps off ebay. You should buy a whole set. They're cheap, and abundant on ebay. If they don't work, then save or re-sell them. Just have to make sure the opening sits far enough away from the hub nut to allow proper seating of the rim when using those caps. Actually, the more I think about it, the more I think it won't work. That cap sits flush into the rim on the wheels that use them. On yours, that center opening is raised, jutting out beyond a flush-fit of the rim, making me think the cap won't stay. Unless someone here knows for sure, you'll have to play Russian Roulette and just try it.
One caveat to the exposed lug look: the lugs themselves start to rust since they're now not protected. When I bought my '98 at 42K miles (they come with the exposed lug Aero wheels), I had the dealer give me a whole new set of lugs since they were covered under warranty and looked horrible from rusting. I now have double that mileage (in 3.5 years), and the lugs are again rusting. The dealer told me that would happen since they're exposed to the elements.
