Any GTO3 owners out there who've refurbished their wheels..?

These ones here: http://www.tyretown.com/1156_waw/noble1.htm#

What are the options for the plastic centre cap that covers the wheel nuts? I'm being told that it can't be powder coated to match because it's very unlikely to survive being baked in an oven! OK, fair enough.

So what's the best way to get around this? I don't think I'm going to find a can of black chrome touch up paint in Halfords.. and my painting skills are not the best. Any help/ideas from folks who've been there before appreciated.

Not a bad option. They said powder coating was definitely part of the process for black chrome.. so maybe I'll have to think again colourwise.

Thanks guys - lots of options here that I hadn't considered, including the Compomotives.. which look like a great improvement (and I didn't realise were so affordable). New wheels and tyres? Perfect way to start the Summer I'd say.
