Default black center caps?

I am looking for push through black center caps to match up with Cragar soft 8s. Found some American racing with there emblem, but are a little pricy. Just want a plain black center cap if anyone knows where to get one.

I looked around and couldn't find any either. I will probably just get the normal ones and sandblast and paint them. By the way what size wheel did you get? I am still trying to decide on rim width.

I saw someone use the little tubs butter comes in and painted them black. You would never have known. Talk about a cheap fix!

keep me posted...I am also looking for these. Sounds like options 1) buy the cagar ones and get powder coated / spray painted black or 2) eat lots of butter!

Can't believe Cagar and Pro Comp don't sell black center caps! Do you need center caps? Without them don't you run the risk of getting a ton of mud and junk in your bearings?

I did not have a small butter container. But did try a 1lb Daisy sour Cream. Fits like a glove. After my wife caught me playing with the food. She informed me that the butter containers are the same size but would not stick out as far. Guess I will be buying some jeep MODs at the grocery store,

Hey, I guess I am the king of cheap mods, first the drill your mirrors write up and now the butter dish thing. Ireally can't take full credit though as these are things I have just picked up along the way and passed on.
