Default Hub Centric Rings

I need some to use with my diamond black TE37s. I would like them to atleast be metal and black, but all I can really find are these:

In the discription it says they will be different colors and I don't know if I really can live with it even if you can only see a little bit of it. I am also having a hard time finding good looking center caps for these wheels. I wanted the Limited Edition Volks centercaps but I read that they won't fit anything other than a 19" TE37 so I'm SOL.

Can anyone offer any help please. Thanks a lot.

I tried posting this in the wheels and tires section of the forum and only got one response...

Buy spacers from well-known brands.
Hub centric ones are the best kind because they located properly on the hub.

Cheap spacers, the stud bolts may shear under stress.

Put looks second, because the last thing you'd want is your wheels breaking and falling off.

Look at this pic of a cheap wheel spacer

Hubcentric rings and spacers are two different things. You are looking at rings, as long as the size is right you are good to go. It simply centers the wheel on the hub, if you have centercaps you won't even see them.
