Default Center cap choice

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
