I dont think there are holes...it is probably epoxed onto the center cap (I have the center caps in a bag somewhere in my house since I switched to Rotary Center caps) I have seen the back and there are no posts

you are probably better off painting the chome emblem silver to match the wheels and then it will be hardly seen...or you could buy a generic center cap...or make your own center cap

Lastly...to simplfy things although it would be expensive is to buy the Rotary Center caps which have a smooth face and paint those silver.

here is a pic of the Rotary Center Caps (there is a little wax build up since I wasn't finished detailing them)

I don't like it when people use the word 'gay' as a put down...

best bet if time is of the essence is to buy the Rotary Center Caps and paint them silver to match

Here is a photo of the back of the emblem. The Mazda logo is part of the mold, cannot be separated from the cap. You can try sanding the logo down or filling in the rest of the cap and finishing it with a different color.
