+1 - why no center caps though - starting a new trend ?
For anyone that likes polished wheels, I have NB Champion RS171s for sale in the marketplace that were fully polished, then clear powdercoated to not require any future repolishing.

Sure I could have something custom made, and maybe I will one day, but I then feel like it makes the wheel look like a street wheel vs a motorsports wheel. My thoughts are if BBS doesn't offer them, then I'm very hesitant to make shift something regardless how easy it is.

Lol been asked this so many times. Factory Porsche center caps fit, but obviously won't match my finish. And honestly none of the cup cars had center caps. Nor do any cars running BBS motorsport wheels. These wheels were custom made for me by BBS motorsports. Jamie and I did all the work for them to actually make this wheel, it didn't exist in this form before then.

There are shiny OEM size center caps that should match your polished wheels with either the black and chrome crest or the gold crest available. Had the gold crest versions on my wife's car before we painted it when it had the RUF wheels on it and the mono ones on with my Champions before I had the polished RUF caps made.
Alternatively Rennline makes a Motorsports looking center cap that would go with your theme - http://www.rennline.com/Rennline-Wheel-Caps-Cup-Car-style-Center-Lock-look/productinfo/W01/
