Black Centercaps needed

As the title states I am in need of some black center caps for my recently powercoated C6 wheels. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks guys.

I have the Factory Repro. Black w/machined face wheels, they come with a CHROME center cap. I called Factory Repro, no Black center caps available. I sanded and painted the chrome caps with Duplicolor Gloss Engine Black. Duplicolor must have a different definition of gloss than I do. I'm going to remove the paint and try Duplicolor Gloss Wheel Black, it requires a Clear Gloss overcoat, Maybe it'll be as shiny as my wheels. Right now I'm driving around with no centercaps but it doesn't look too bad since I painted the rotors and hubs gloss black earlier.

I was looking at some photo's taken of me and my car at Road America where I was required to remove my chrome center caps for safety reasons. I noticed in some of the photo's that it looked like I had black center caps and I thought how nice that looked. Here's one of the photo's that sort of provide the visual I'm talking about:

Here's another look

I kept my OEM silver painter center caps and I may paint them myself just to see whet they'd look like.

They don't look very good when you take them out and get up close.
