This might give you an idea of what the small chrome hub mounted ones would look like if you overlook my scabby wheel:





I think I prefer the standard plastic caps to be honest

Thanks for posting some pics - I find that really helpful

I reckon that with the wheels painted and some chrome nuts it could look good

I had thought about painting the wheels shiny black - but perhaps silver or even white might look better? Easy enough to repaint them a different colour if it doesnt look right I guess.......

I agree, I think silver or white would look better than black. Silver looks particularly smart:
