Thanks. I think you can get the cheaper colored knockoff ones on EBay, and then just paint the silver section to black to match your wheels. I have those cheap eBay knockoff centercaps on my winter wheels, and they look ok...

I agree with this, the wheel is very smooth & minimalistic & the center cap is the opposite design.

The caps are cheap on eBay. Buy them, mask off the crest and paint them black. That would be my choice :cheers:

They come in black, too. ;)

Edit: Well, they used to be available in black, but I can't find them anymore. I only found one set of silver replicas, too. :confused:
