Decent hub caps for 13' wheel to replace OEM

Ok don't crucify on this, as I know many will just say go to Alloys!
I have aging OEM hubcaps on steel wheels, stock originals, though they looking a bit crap. The obvious time consuming thing is to sand down and re-paint, though before I do that in spring 2021, is there any real decent hub caps out there?
Any recommendations, as all the non OEM stuff, just looks looks cheap & ****e!
 
I would not spend too much time on hubcaps, so just sanding for removing paint that is going loose and some wheelspray and imagine how that would look when hubcab is vertical instead of horizontal and atleast 4 feet below. Or just degrease and wheelspray lightly and wait for good weather and still just sand them to remove loose paint and this time use some primer and degreaser. I recommend acetone but that stuff is that strong you will have to pay attention to not damage them with it but it is better then sanding
