Geared - I think you are better of trying to fabricate some center caps for your wheels. The hubs are made out of some type of high carbon steel that rusts virtually overnight. I seriously doubt you could polish the hub to a shine and paint and/or clear coat probably wouldn't last very long due to the heat and elements. If I were you, I'd measure the ID of the wheel and see if you can find a nylon plug/cap that fits the hole. There's a hardware store in the Pramenade Plaza (in PBG) that has a bunch of different sizes. If they don't have ones large enough, I'm sure they can order the correct size. After getting the correct size, I'd either paint the caps or laminate them with carbon fiber. The best place for carbon fiber locally is Glue Products (in WPB).
