You can cut the plastic "welds" on the back and remove the emblems before painting then glue them back on after... not sure what would be the best glue to do that with, however...

Perhaps Gorilla Glue? That stuff is supposed to be super strong.

And yes, you can use generic 15" hubcaps from the auto parts store, eBay, etc.
I don't like the ones Toyota put on the Yaris.
