Decals for center caps of Nismo LMGT4 wheels?
I was thinking of just a small Nismo decal like the ones on the spokes for the center caps; they look kind of plain with nothing on them. Is there anything like this available? I'd also like it to be the newer style Nismo logo, to match the spoke decals...

Something like these or these would be ok (not sure which is the right size), except they are the old logo...
I like the Rays caps (don't really dig the gold, though), but that's just way too much money.
I thought about the side emblems, but thought it would be a little too overboard on the number of "Z"s on the exterior of the car...
Any other ideas?

Ok, I'm a dork. I just realized the Nismo rims have the old Nismo logo on them, so the center cap decals on Ebay should work; just need to find some the right size... the ones I linked above are only 4.4 and 5.5cm. Can anyone tell me what the diameter of the center caps are? My wheels don't arrive until the end of the week. The side emblems are 7cm and if they are a perfect fit, then the Ebay ones are too small, as I don't think a round decal would look good unless it was the same size as the center cap...

Attached is a pic of my wheels and custom centercaps. I machined the OEM centercaps to get a flat surface; they come as a "domed" surface. I then bonded a cut circle of carbon fiber sheet that was bonded to the centercap, followed by a Z emblem from the rear deck lid, courtesy of Courtesy Nissan!
Not everyone likes it, but at least my wheels were unique enough for the Japanese Nismo management to award me the Nismo Award at this summer's National ZCCA Car Show!
