How about painting the center covers to match the car? If not, then I like them without the covers.

How about a close-up?
Flat black would be my choice instead of the white?

I don't like it with THOSE center covers. Find some that go with the wheels...

I like it with the center covers on. With them off it looks like you forgot to put them on, and something is missing.

On, but should be the same finish as the spokes.

+1 for black, matches the hood center and pipes, will look sweet!

Since the rims are chrome, center caps that are chromed would look good. Also, caps that are the same color as the spokes would be OK. (not a different shade of the same color...and not plates ....caps)

With covers and perhaps some matching crossed flags logos in the centres.

Looks unfinished and is unprotected w/out covers but you definitely need to change or paint the covers.
