Default Chrome Z06 Wheels Question

The center plate/section on Z06 chrome replacement wheel from motorsport is plain (no emblem). 1. Is there chrome plate with the exact same emblem (all red) as a stock Z06 wheel available that will fit onto the motorsport chrome replacement wheel? 2. (second choice) Is there a chrome plate with the cross flags similar to the coupe and convertible available for that wheel? And would the plate that is on the polished wheel look OK with a chrome wheel. I was told that if you mix and match chrome and polished aluminum it will stand out like a sore thumb?
Thank You.

There is a place that sells a chrome centercap with the recessed emblem, but they are expensive. Most places though, sell them in chrome with the emblem raised. I'm not a fan of the plain chrome centercap where you have to put in a decal.

If you go on ebay there are some sets of 4 chrome engraved caps for $40-$50. I have the plain with the stickers. The engraved just blend in too much. You can also buy different style stickers for them.

Are those recessed or raised emblem engraved centercaps? I suspect they are the cheaper raised ones. Then they are not like the OEM recessed emblem caps.
