Definitely with you in the contrast idea, think we all like the fact our car can be anonymous

I've got them in my watch list as there is a bit chrome, but black isn't the best match for dark grey wheels I think, can't get dark grey caps so I'm thinking to get all chrome caps to match the face, then they will blend in nicely with the wheel which has two colours, chrome (diamond cut) and dark grey.

But will need some logo or something as blank ones will look really crap

Why don't go back to the person who painted your wheels and get him to colour code your centre caps to the wheels?

Get him to colour code them but leave off the clear coat.
Go see a airbrusher or a pin stripest (that a word?) and get them to put on a chrome/silver audi logo and then clear coat it. Done.

Scott's idea sounds pretty good, get them painted to match then you could put something like the following on

This would be a reasonable thing to do, but I don't want to see them ever again after f***ing up this job so badly, colour wise, not quality.
Plus there is more to that story from the other thread where I expressed my dissatisfaction, I wasn't angry just about that, it was a whole package.
Final price was 70quid more than what we agreed to, if you shake hand with me, no matter what or which side is making the deal, thats it, deal is done.
And another thing I hate the most, they were jumping into the car with no care at all in, I'm not joking, very very dirty and greasy trousers and tshirts.
Disgusting and very disrespectful.
It is a leather, which I cleaned but only some of it, stitching is still a bit dirty, plus there where the little wear is, tiny cracks, grease got into it so well that non of the two leather cleaners were able to clean that.

I'm not trying to look after the car as much as I can so one moron can mess it up in few seconds.
Thats why I was fuming yesterday, because of all this things, not just one.
