Want to ceiling mount a couple bookshelf speakers. Anyone know where I can get the grills and cans from? I could make the cans if I can find some grills. The speakers measure 7" tall 4" wide and 4" deep.

Why ? What speakers ? You probably don't need cans.

The only way to install rears is hang on wall, looks like crap.

Do you want to remove the speakers from the housing and mount them in the ceiling?

No. I want to mount the speaker in an enclosure with a grill on the ceiling.

But for a regular bookshelf speaker?
Or are you talking about something like this?

Link to the speakers?

It should be as easy as getting a drywall saw and cutting out your rectangle in the ceiling. If they didn't come with a grill, there are places online that make custom length/width grills. But most of the ones I've seen for wall/ceiling mount come with a grill. Same concept as a can light, you mount the speaker and then attach the trim ring/grill.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too. I was hoping to look at the actual speakers and maybe make a suggestion.
