If you get Rota center caps, the Rota logo is just a piece of thin aluminum with double sided tape on it. You can carefully peel it off, leaving just the painted centercap. No Honda logo, but that's OK as far as I'm concerned. Get some vinyl made or something like that if you want I guess, or get a machine shop to engrave them.. It's too bad that Honda has such an aggressive legal team, because it would be easy to make and sell logo'd centercaps for Rota stuff.

Actually, there are ways to add a recessed logo to the Rota caps because the cap is slightly dished once the Rota logo disc is removed. It would require making a mold and overmolding the centercap though, which I'm sure is waaay more involved than you want to get.
