Center Caps....Black or Silver??

Here's a pic. Would the wheel centers look better black or silver?

Black looks good cause it runs with the car. I had these on my Legend Coupe, and it was white, so the center cap stayed. Looks good either way, but to me the black might give the impression that something is missing, and the wheel is not complete.

from the look of the pic if the black is in the back, I say go with the silver. The black makes it look like something is missing in the center of the rim. But ultimatly it is your decision.

i vote silver, because like others have said, from a distance, it appears that there are no center caps at all...the silver matches with the rims, and even though basically the whole theme of your car is black, the silver center caps would look better on the wheels..just my opinion though.

The black looks nice, especially since it matches the car.

I'd go black. Close up pics of each would be nice to see how they may look.
