Ken-- Holy 993s, Batman!
As much as I know I'll LUV seeing your wheels on, your interior makeover really impressed me.
Add that + sweet wheels to your RS suspension updgrade, & you've got an incredibly well-sorted 993
If you're still after black center caps, paint might be an option. I'll try to find photo(s) of mine, in case they help.

Ken-- Consider posting pics of your 993 with wheels on the "futuristic FUCHS" thread; may help others go down the same road.
RLer BrandonH might be a good one to PM about center caps, he brings up related topic there:
If it helps, here are the photos of mine I offered - before and after black paint.
May not be the same size / don't know if you have others available you can paint, but hopefully this helps give an idea:
Huge appreciation to Rennlisters Old Guy & especially Jenk12M.
After searching for full silver crest wheel centers to 100% match the jeweler's quality silver hood badge, I'd given up. Even Ralph Boothe's wife confirmed he had none to offer. After a couple PMs to Old Guy, UPS delivered these rarities; with theft-deterrent backings:

Thanks! Should be picking up the car today and I'll take some close up's on the wheels. I checked the dimension at my mechanic's and they are the standard Porsche size, so nearly any Porsche wheel center should work.

The gentleman who owns that Batmobile also has a replica of the later one along with an assortment of fine European cars, all watched over in his garage by a full size Batman figure. Life is good when you can relive your childhood memories everyday. A picture of the Batmobile above is the permanent background on my phone, that way I get to relive his childhood memories everyday.
