Default Black center caps?

Guys, Gals.

Do you know where I can buy matte black center caps for stock 17s?

Only place I found was Ebay and they were 65 a piece!

Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty sure I have those center caps in black somewhere in my attic. PM me and I'll update you if I find them.

Sounds good I will just paint them.

First this is first though. I painted my wheels yesterday and they turned out terrible.
The paint literally just wipes right off. Not sure if its bad paint or what.
I cleaned, sanded, cleaned again, let dry, primed, let dry, painted, waiting in between coats, cleared.
You can wipe the paint off like sand. Never seen that before ever.
