Default Center caps for aftermarket wheels

I just purchased some 22" Asanti wheels for my Panamera and I'm trying to find some gloss black Porsche center caps with the gold emblem that will work with the wheels. My stock Mercedes center caps fit in the Asanti wheels perfectly but of course the Panamera centers I bought don't fit and after searching every OEM Porsche cap I could find it seems none of them will work. Does anyone know of anyone that sells caps that will work? Is there someone that makes custom stuff? I've searched and searched but can only come up with OEM Porsche stuff that doesn't work.

This is what OEM looks like which I love but unfortunately it's just too big.

I really hope it doesn't come down to having to use it sticker or piece of vinyl wrap but it might. If that was the only option and it ended up looking tacked on I would likely just leave them blank.

yeah, I would agree, if you could get a thin sticker might be almost un-noticeable.
Unless you could turn down some genuine ones.

Ran into this with OZ wheels I use on my Cayenne for winter tires. Bought some center caps and they'd sit in the center "socket" of the wheel but the retaining tabs on the caps wouldn't engage.

Solution: I took some silicone caulk/glue and used it on the tabs. Worked all last winter; no caps lost.

YMMV.

This may end up being my best option if I can find some that fit. The OEM ones I bought are so close but just a hair too big.

Did you guys ever find a solution to getting a Porsche center cap to fit an HRE wheel (or basically a source for custom size Porsche wheel center cap)? Thank you.
