What would be better is get a peice of wood that the cap would fit over and with a medium sized metal working hammer, put some masking tape over the face of the hammer then just flatten it out nice and easy. After thats done and its straight, aside from some hammer marks, get some wet or dry 600 and sand until you get as many of the blemishes out as you can. Then get 1200 wet or dry and sand it until you can a better reflection from the metal then you did with the 600. Do all sanding with some warm water, soapy is even better it cleanses while at the same time adding some lubrication without detracting from the sanding properties.
Once that is done buff it and you should have a decent center cap. I've never tried this method on a center cap but it should work.
