Default Customizing Torque Thrust 2's for a 30th ann t/a

I have a 30th ann t/a and I am putting my anniversary blue weels away, to save them for car show. I have just the other day picked up my 17x9.5 torque thrust 2 wheels and was planning to make the part of the rim annodized blue like the anniversary ones, but instead I am going to take the center cap that came with the rims and have a machine shop cut off the hump on the cap that says american racing and have them fit my 30th ann center wheel caps in the remaining hole. Here are some picks that I took with my camera. The cap is just center in the hole right now just to imagine what it will look like.

I think you should anodize the center of the wheel but the cap idea looks good.
