Default Looking for center caps for black painted lobster forks

I just bought a set of 19" Carrera S (lobster fork) wheels to use as track wheels. I've decided to have them painted black, and will need to come up with some center caps. I've searched the usual places (Pelican, Sunset, Suncoast, etc) but can't seem to find OEM black painted caps (which would have the colored Porsche crest). Anybody have any sources? Options less expensive than the usual aftermarket prices are a plus...

Also, I haven't contacted the wheel shop yet to schedule the painting, but will they likely be able to perfectly match the OEM black color, so they match the center caps?

Thanks.

If they're going to be track wheels, why not skip the center caps?

I always liked the idea of these Weltmeister centers from Automotion:

If you wanted centers for track wheels, these might look the part. Anybody have these?

Don't burn your money on OEM. For the price and for track use--- you can buy 4 sets of these comparative to 1 set OEM. No brainer here.
