Default Forgestar center caps Black or Red?

I have both stock Black center caps and Red center caps. Currently the Red ones are on the car. I like them but what do you think. Are the Red 'gawdy'?

1 vote for black, but then I'm not a red guy. Car looks great though (red aside ).

Nice car. I don't mind the red caps, but I would stay with black, too.

*gaudy One thing your car isn't, just nice.

I think the red caps look great, it's a very subtle touch, compliments the calipers and contrasts the black perfectly.

What is the exact wheel/tire/offset on your setup? I'm at a crossroads about having my CCW 505A's powder coated piano black or just selling them and going with a set of F14's. Thanks!!!

I like the looks when focusing on just the wheel. Looking at the big picture, I'm not as enthusiastic. I'm not a fan of black wheels on any car / truck. If those were my wheels and looking to add interest without a total repaint, I might consider a red pinstripe around the circumference. The red center just seems too small and a bit out of place.

Enjoy it whichever way you decide. You have a sharp looking ride.
