Try laying a piece of black vinyl sticker over the cap to see if you'll like first.

You seem to have clouded judgment abilities right now, let me help...

The polished lugs tie in uniformly with the polished lip and center cap... why would you change it?

Also, why would you blow money at a body shop when $4 worth of spraypaint and sandpaper can do it for you?

At Lowe's I noticed some newer spray paint that will paint directly over plastic and chrome. You might give that a try if you decide to paint over it.
