Default Which Centers II

You might remember a couple of weeks ago I was trying to determine what do do with my wheel centers. I had the keep 'em black option:




or option 2, the silver & flag centers:




After thinking about it and playing around for a week or so I modified the blacks and now have blacks with a red center:






Thoughts?

If I had to pick I would go with 3, But if it was mine I wouldn't be worring about the caps as much as I would the wheels.

As much as I like them, can't justify Fikse's, besides I really like black wagons. I've never seen another set in person and think it makes the car look a little more sinister. I wanted to show some attention to detial, and leave the message that it'll kick your but even on a budget!

To each his own though!

You didn't try the caps with just the lug circles silver. I like # 3 the best but it may be too black. If you can, try just leaving the lug nut circles silver & I think you will see a difference.

Just a thought......
