Creativity needed! Center caps for wheels

First and foremost, I would like to advise all of you against purchasing wheels from ADR/Golden Apple. They have had my cracked wheel for over 2 weeks now and refuse to provide me with any information about it. They won't even tell me if they have received it yet, although I know they have. They claim that they only talk with their dealers, although the guy at the Wheel Store has told me that they won't tell him crap either.

With that said, I have a question about my center caps on my wheels. As you can see, it says ADR on it...well, if you look at the pic in my sig, you will see that these stickers have been pulled off (when I got the wheels used, they came that way). The diameter of the circle is barely over 2.25 inches. I'm not too keen on the plain look and now I refuse to purchase new center caps from ADR.

Question- What should I do to the center caps? Should I paint them to match my brake calipers (color TBD), or should I leave them alone, or should I paint them black? Are there any other center caps available? I saw the Stillen ones but they are too big and too small...

Any suggestions?

Oooohhhh. Good call dude. And I could go with white on the calipers too.....or is that overkill?

Any other ideas out there? I wish there were center caps I could buy somewhere.//....

That's excactly what I was thinking, paint both the calipers and the center caps white. Your best bet is to go to a professional paint store and ask them what kind of paint will stick to the center caps and then have them make you some paint and then you get to work painting.
