You could find s plain set of the centercaps from any wheel or tire place. And just paint them the color of the wheels. or you could do what N2OInferno said and Paint all around the Mazda Sign to make the Polished logo stand out.

COST
well it would have cost me $80 buck-a-rue's each but i found out that the guy that does teh powder coating is an old paintball friend of mine and im going to advertise his company on my car. Since im a graphic artist i can don that for free at my office. I promissed him i would not tell how much oc a deal he is giving me but lets just say under $50.00 each rim.

Powder coating
Ok here is an update:
Unfortunatly i was sick with the Flu this last week and a half os i just now got the rims ot the powder coater the final color is going to be anthricite pearl black with a clear coat, htis will end up looking like a dark charcoal to black. Im now looking for some Ground controls so i can lower the car then it will be one bad MO FO. Pictures to come soon.
ended up ordering Kumu tires for the rims

the color
it is really hard to see the true nature of the color in the photos. But the reason the color is called Anthracite Pearl black is because it is slightly darker than the Typical "Gunmetal" color but if you saw them in person you would say "Whoooo them Rims is HOT as Biz-Shnitz, Where U buy them cusstome rims? I like get some."
