Custom center caps... show them to me

I just picked up a set of Nismo A34s for my G35 sedan and would like to do something with the centercaps. Here's how they look right now.



BORING...

Since the wheels were made by Rays, I've been thinking about picking up some Rays center caps. Unfortunately, I haven't really found anything I like from them, so I'm considering making my own.

If you've seen something unique that someone has made, or have made a set for yourself, care to share? I'm looking for any ideas to brighten up this blank canvas.

I've done a few, but never took any pictures. Maybe this thread will incourage me to finish some of the new ones I have in the waiting.

That looks pretty good. I was thinking about doing something similar with a neo-chrome or a burned titanium look to match the lugs, but the chances of the colors being correct between the two are almost non-existant.

iDrive, how far along are you with the ones you're working on?

Here are the ones I am working on for the 18x9 wheels I use for winter (made from SLA):



The ones I made for my forgestars are very similar to their original silver faced version and I just made something that allowed me to have a black face instead, sorry no good pictures though.

Thats cool, not everyday I meet someone who even knows what it is...you'll hate hearing what I have daily use of then: 3xSLA, 1xFDM, 1xSLS, 1xDMLS, 1xObJet, 1xPlastic Laser Cutter.
