Default Painted stock steelies, legit pic request

I am getting rid of my 17s with bald tires in favor of some 14s with damn near new tires for a steal. I was gonna get some Honda caps for them but thought about painting them with some of the silver wheel paint and roll them.

Has one one done this, got pics

What caps will fit? I did a quick look on ebay and saw some older (80's i guess) caps and some late model aftermarket blank or with an "H".

some tape, paint and chap stick works great! so you can make them match also
ill be painting my new 14s for silver and painting the caps again also.
they run ruffly 20bucks for a set thats in moderate condition... i had to buy total 6 of them to have 4 in decent shape. the other two are banged up a bit.

Great, thanks for the info. I will prob swing by the new/used wheel/tire shop, they always have a large collection of used centers.
