Default Center cap mod

Ive tried several different ideas to black out my center caps and I think I finally found one I think looks factory. This was very easy to do and only cost a few bucks and a little bit of time.

The lug nuts are Gorilla locking lug nuts I ordered on amazon. You just remove the center caps and then you can actually pop off the chrome ring and flag(its one piece). I then scuffed them up a little and sprayed them gloss black. Once the paint was dry I popped them back on. The paint matches the factory cap perfectly, you would never know they weren't factory. I also bought black TPMS stems to get rid of the factory grey ones. Now everything on the wheel is gloss black!
