I have a '95 Contour GL with crappy plastic hub caps... and to make things worse, one of them has been stolen! Does anyone know where I can buy just one hub cap rather than the whole set?

Go buy some aftermarket hubcaps. Better looking and only $25 to $50 bucks. My new wheel covers look like the chrysler chrome spoked rims . From 10 feet away they look like $500. rims

Go for the ricer look and leave the hubcaps off.  But you will need some chrome lugnuts.

Please stay away from crome wheel covers. Have some dignaty. For charges a rediculous 59$ to replace a single factory wheel cover. I say go without and save up a little money and get you some nice wheels. They will transform your car. The difference will be night and day. For an example look here. 97 Contour Transformation

Try ford-outlet.com. Prices range from $21.66-27.69. They're also good about finding stuff that might not be listed as they basically seem to have access to the whole Ford lineup but at a discount.
Personally I would stay away from those department store hubcaps, they just don't look as good as factory and you know they're cheap when you see them.
I suppose you could also try a junkyard, but how many would you have to hit before you found one?

The question is WHERE in the aftermarket? They're cheaper because they look like cr*p! I'd rather get something that was original equipment and matched the rest of my hubcaps. Not that they were that great anyway, most of mine are slightly broken as various repair shops cracked a clip or two putting the hubcaps back on. I'm just waiting for one to start falling off soon.
