I need to get a couple center caps for my 2000 Blazer and have found them
online. Sorry, I'm a girl (and blonde) so I don't know these things. But
seriously, do the center caps just snap into the wheel?

It all depends on the wheel! Most snap on, some screw on, some go on behind
the wheel and stick though the center hole. Some get screwed onto the lug
nuts to hold it on. Does it look like this?

If so there are plastic caps that screw onto the Lugs that hold that center
cap on!

If it looks like this,

It's hard to tell from looking at that picture, but by guess is it just
snaps on.

Without knowing which wheel you have, Steel or Aluminum, and if it's a Stock
wheel that came on that Blazer, you can only guess. Generally though
whatever type you get, it's pretty easy to figure out, especially when it's
already OFF and your trying to get it on. It's when the cap is already on
and you've never taken that type off before when you have to be carful and
really figure it out without breaking anything.

No, it is a flat disk that goes in the middle of the tire on the outside.
My guess is it snaps on.

all you need to do is steal them from another 2000 Blazer and save some
money

Hmm, you must live in a city to make that comment. I live in a small town
in the country, I wouldn't do that type of thing.

They snap in from outside. About the cheapest place to find them is a
salvage yard. I just picked up a few for my 97. Paid 5 bucks each. When
you get the replacements I suggest a couple shots of clear RTV silicone
on the edge before you snap them in. They stay in lace that way and can
still be removed easily for tire work.
