Any ideas on wheel emblems?

Just got some new 20's yesterday:

The center caps need some help:

I am planning on replacing the entire polished center piece (the part held with five screws) with a flat aluminum disc with some kind of OEM-looking emblems. I can get these Ford wheel emblems, but they are just a hair over 2", while the entire center section is well over 3":

Does anyone have any other ideas? In a perfect world, I would have a 3" circular emblem with the "Ford Racing" logo on a black background.

Thanks in advance.

If you are going to replace them with a flat surface area then I can help you, if the curve is not too bad I think I can still help you.
Drop me an email or call me.

I am taking the truck to a muffle shop tomorrow to see if they can make the bends required to make my exhaust fit the Metcos. The driver's side has been on for a week, but I have been taking it easy--not sure of what might happen if I applied massive torque when I have only one bar on.

I sent an e-mail to Vaporlock. Small world--I spent most of my life in Myrtle Beach, SC, where he is. Maybe he can hook me up with some custom "Ford Racing" emblems.

Back downstairs to figure out where the extra Brembo parts I have left over are supposed to go. Instructions in 50 languages--and they all suck. I guess for $4,000, you are not entitled to vehicle-specific instructions.

Are the center cap emblems (just the center) available from Ford? If not, I will think about yours. Just don't know how to get the chrome back on the letters.

no i've already asked that haha.

i don't know how to get the chrome back on there, but you could also have a paint shop paint them then sand the back so only the svt is that color then repaint the back so like red svt with black back around or white svt with black back, or black svt with white back.

all they are is clear pastic when all the paint and chrome is removed
