Default What should I use to cover the holes in the soft 8's?

I'm getting ready to put on the black cragar soft 8's, and I want to put something over the roughly 3" hole in the middle of them, what should I use, what would be easy to obtain, what would be cheap/easy/look good?

thanks as always guys!

it might, but it would probably be dead obvious what it is... I'd like something flat maybe? Black plexiglass? I don't know...

I am not even sure where you would find black plexiglass.

What about black dyed nylon plastic?

If you want to do a plexiglass and you can find someone to cut it...since you have a non exposed side. Take limo tint and cover the non exposed side with the tint...that will give it the full black look.

yeah, but I've seen black plexi before... maybe a sign vendor? I'd paint it before I'd tint it, way less hassle... but the plexi I'd never have to worry about the paint fading or chipping or anything like that.
