Default Dull center caps, what to do?

I just bought some used Weld Evo Renegades and the center caps look like ****. They are plastic with chrome paint or whatever on them.

instead of spending $120+ for new ones, does anyone know someone who could pretty them up for me?

thanks, dan

If they are like my weld cener caps.....no. They are chrome plated. You can possibly have them powder coated.

some how i dont think powder coating would be a good idea....something about plastic and a 400 degree oven doesnt sound like it will work out lol. You could have the center caps re chromed but who knows how cheap its gonna be.
