steel wheels and dressing them up..........any ideas?

allright so i have my factory steelies on for the winter and i do not want to use the hub caps cuz well i think hub caps look like ****

the only thing that i dont like is how the lugs show

do they sell the center caps that will fit a cobalt LT (4-lug)?

im talking bout the same thing you see on cop cars..........steel wheels with the chrome/polished center cap

anyone ever get one of these?

ive been googling it and really cant find anything

bump?

i'm sure you could find some universal ones somewhere and just modify them a little bit to fit on to the wheels.

I'm wondering if they sell those little rubber caps (like what they put over exposed bolts so you don't scalp yourself) in a size that would work that would cover them up and be cheap too.

Edit: Duh for me hehe. I just opened the link above and the things I'm talking about are right there. Also didn't see the part about wanting and single cover before I posted. But hey it proves I had a good idea doesn't it? Maybe? Sorry
