Need help identifying center cap

I have a '97 EX coupe with OEM alloys. Lost a center cap and am having a devil of a time finding a replacement. I really need to identify the part number if possible, but online parts look-up shows item as discontinued and thus no number. PLUS, there's a del Sol rim that is similar, but the 'H' isn't painted black like mine are (see pic).

Recommendations where I can find a replacement? Any help would be greatly appreciated folks!

Re: Need help identifying center cap

Follow-up to center cap quest:
Apparently these wheels were considered a dealer installed 'accessory' and not actually OEM. I have no idea what that means, but there are no part numbers on the cap and none in Honda's microfiche diagrams online (even though the wheel & cap are shown).

I did manage to track down some numbers:

95-97 5 spoke wheel, center cap:
Hollander #C63797
08W14-SR0-100J painted (white?)
08W14-SR0-100k machined lip

There was one part number for the wheel itself, but I think it was a remanuf number:
6018-04041682

Civic wheels are in high demand, so junkyard searches are a waste of time. Any decent yard won't separate the center cap from the wheel anyway. Most wheel sales online do not include center caps. Be very, VERY careful when buying caps off eBay. I finally found the correct one, but almost bought a full set of wrong ones before I noticed the 'H' was off by a few degrees. Apparently Honda used a similar cap on Accords but the lugnut cutouts aligned due north, south, east & west of the 'H', whereas the civic/delsol aligned 45 degrees northeast, southeast, etc. And the diameter of the cap was 4.25" for the Accord, but only 4" for the civic/delsol. Take careful measurements & make sure everything alligns correctly. Good luck!
