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

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.
