Painted Steel Rims

I picked up some used steel rims and tires that were from an older 4runner.

Tires are 245/75/16 Cooper Discoverer A/T (good for winter)

I got all the surface rust off of them and then hit them with 2 coats of black primer , 3 coats of black enamel paint, and 2 coats of engine clear coat.

This is where I need some help. Im not sure what to do with the center caps paint them black? Paint just the toyota symbol black? Please any suggestions welcome.

This is with the centre cap which I know would have to be painted some color,





This is without centre cap

I like the contrast the silver center cap brings to the black wheel.
