Default wheel center cap

I am looking for a center cap for my C5-Z06 wheels. I want them just like the original except they would be simi-gloss black instead of the "gray". I would also like black or chrome lug nut covers. Anybody know where I can find these things?
I am getting my original wheels power-coated simi-gloss black and need the plastic pieces to match.

Eckler's sells lugnuts & covers. I think that you will have to have your centercap powdercoated along with your wheels. I have only seen them in gray or chrome. I hope this helps you, good luck...

I think powdercoating involves high heat. Plastic centercaps probably would melt.. Don't know why you couldn't paint the stock gray caps to match, though...
