Default come inside please

Ok I'm going to be getting my C5 Z06 wheels powdercoated "wet black" and my question is since I can't get the center caps and lugnut covers done too (plastic)....... what's my other choices to do? Paint them just plain black or go without center caps..... I think going without would not look good IMO.... what are some suggestions please?

Ebay has black center caps for the zo6 wheels, just looked at them yesterday. They're around $60-$70

If it's just the caps Ide wait till the wheels are done. Then get some small cans of different brands/types of high gloss black paint. Paint some pieces of plexiglass and see which paint matches the best. Then paint your caps yourself and YOU will be able to make sure the caps match as close as possible.

They would have to be at a minimum cleaned, lightly fine sanded and cleaned again before painting.
