While regularly driving, I started to hear a slight "clank"ing noise and within a few seconds before I really had time to do anything, the center cap of one of my rims flew right off (technically not just the cap, the whole center piece). I looked for a few hours and wasn't ever able to locate the pieces.
Now my car looks silly, with over 5k+ worth of rims and tires, and the front driver's side rim with a big gaping hole in it.
After making plenty of phone calls and searching everywhere I could think of, I can not figure out where I can (hopefully quickly) get a replacement center cap:
Rim is an 18' Racing Hart M5, pictured below:

I may update with pictures of what it looks like now with the circled piece missing later.
If anyone knows a shop in town that will actually go to the trouble of helping me solve this annoying problem, they would get all my business in the future -- or if any one person can help me acquire a matching piece, I would be happy to repay you somehow!

Looks like a very similar center piece? Help please if you have any ideas.
