Default Metal center wheel caps

Does anyone have a source for metal center caps? I want to powder coat my wheels a special color but don't think I can match the paint for the plastic center caps. Thanks

For the rim? They are s wheels, D2. I have never seen metal center caps, so I don't have a number for them.

I thought maybe you had seen them before and had a part number then I could probably help. I've never seen metal ones though for D2 rims

I think the older caps where metal over plastic. Also by now, none of them ever fit anymore. I removed them from my 1999 before getting new tires and then siliconed them on when I got home. I'll check in my garage when I get home to see if they really are metal. The newer replacements are all plastic.

Let me know. Maybe a metal coat then powder coat would work on plastic?

So it looks like some were definitely metal over plastic.

I'm not sure if that came from my 03 or 99. I bought all new black emblem caps for the 03 and then I took the 9 or 10 green caps and picked the best 5 for the 99.
