Default Good idea or bad idea?

I have a set of PF 18" Avus wheels to use as winter wheels on my FL S8.
That might or might not happen this year as they need a bit of cleaning up first.
However I don't have a full set of the correct centre caps and they're not that easy to get individually (asked A8parts and awaiting an answer).

I can however get a set of a different design very cheaply that appear to fit OK - what do people think? Remember this will be for winter use only so they'll be mucky!

Pictures show an Avus wheel with the correct cap and the one I'm thinking of, plus the 2 edited together:
