Default need your opinion on these center caps

Just got some new center caps, volk time attack style. They are my favorite of all 3 styles (had the other two but sold them). Now I can't decide whether or not to run these or just keep the look without them. I'd really appreciate some opinions.

i think the centers complete the look. It doesnt draw away from the overall appearance of the wheel like some center caps can do

Hmmm...I may be in the minority but I liked them without. It gave your car more of the all-business look. Plus my eyes are drawn towards the wheels now, as oppose to before when I looked at the car as a whole.

That's just me though, it's so subtle you can't really tell.

I wouldn't go as far as saying they are "cheasy", but I do agree with Tuan that you pulled off the no-center-cap look quite nicely. I think you should leave them off because they make the rims look less busy...but that's just my opinion. Either way, it's a win win situation you got here.

Volks (center caps or not) + your stance + your tire selection =

Thank you for your opinions. I'm still undecided. I really like these center caps, just not when they are actually on the wheel. When i let my friend drive my car, i really like the look from the outside without the caps. I'm sure with them it would be just fine, but i dont know. It's such a minor mod.

Yeah, I'm on the fence because without the center-cap it goes so well with the matte black lugnuts.

I would hit the caps up matte black as well, but the Volk logo is not raised. Probably too expensive of a risk.

I was thinking of painting it black too. I might isolate the red circle and leave it unpainted. This is by far like the hardest choice i've had to make for this car because i like the look without it more, but it always feels like something is missing.

I think that would look great.

Mask off the red and/or center logo. Paint that outer rim of the cap matte black. It would be like a "time attack" wheel cap.
