Center cap choice
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hi
After a ''little'' disaster with refurb of my wheels I'm stuck with the choice of center caps. Wheels supposed to be gunmetal/grey and they are very dark grey.
So the standard grey caps look a bit odd, black ones odd ish so the only solution in my opinion is to have fully chromed ones.

Choice is poor, there either S, RS or ABT chrome caps.

I'm very against ''advertising wrong product'' but it looks like I have no choice at the minute.
Picture below is with the RS style cap as it contains less red paint when compared to just S logo which is much bigger.

I know what you thinking, this guy is either mental or so an@l it's almost impossible to believe, well...lets be it +++

Do you think this looks chav or is acceptable ??

Cheers guys
Mr An@l ;)

Personally I saw nothing wrong with the original caps in your photos. +++

I'm with HP, my eye is being drawn to the red and not the wheel
Hope you don't mind

They don't match the colour of the wheels like they did before refurb, and they look a bit **** anyway. I told you, Mr. An@l with silly principles and ''obsessive criticism'' in certain cases ;)

I didn't think the originals looked to far out to be honest..

I have a set which are grey like yours but the chrome/silver rings are spotless, I could bring them to the meet to join your collection :)

Not at all mate, I welcome ANY comments, plus you can't offend me, I'm unoffendable ;) But ****edoffable :ROFL:
And this is why I would never have red calipers or anything what creates a big contrast with the colour of the car.
Calipers will be either gunmetal/dark silver or black.
