Default White Concave center caps

Hi guys,

I have set of 18" Gemballa LeMans rims and powder coated them to match the color of my car: Grand Prix white.
I picked up a set of 3" silver concave plastic caps (non color crest) that go with the shape of the rims. I wanted to paint them white to match but the crest is so shallow on the plastic caps, you lose the detail once painted.
I'm wondering/hoping theres a set out there that's made in white preferably without color crest, but will settle for a color crest if thats the only option.

Thanks guys!

I have another option for you if you have the plastic concave caps with the colored inserts.
The gold Porsche crest on the colored caps are printed on a metal foil that is then glued to the centercap, and you can remove the crests from the caps by heating the caps in your oven or toaster to 250F or so, which will melt the glue.
Once you remove the crests, you can paint the caps white and then glue the crests back on. I did this when I painted my wheels gold.
