Which Centre Caps?

[whitenemesis]

New alloys on the way

(Not my car but shows the wheels in Sterling Silver)

What centre cap would you go for?

As I have now (matches the bonnet star surround)

Sterling Silver Star

AMG (not OEM)

I actually like (and prefer) the Blue Wreath one's and was about to buy 4, of those until a respected friend of mine persueded my to go for the Sterling Silver ones.

I like (prefer) the silver star why i say that! bought some amg wheels that did not come with centres

So i took the blue reef ones out of the 16" standard alloys stuck those in yer they looked ok but !!!!!

They did`nt set the wheels alight, so bought silver star and wow even yes even the wife noticed them

hope that helps

I believe you can get the wreathed star in black too - link here. I think given the black and silver colours of your car I would stick to the silver star or to a black roadster cap.

The AMG one doesn't do anything for me.

Hate the AMG caps, they look tacky.

Thanks for that but the thing is the car comes with a blue wreath around the mount for the bonnet star, so blue would match better?

The blue of the bonnet cap is effectively invisible from any angle apart from head on. By your logic, all Mercedes which have this (I believe most of them) should have blue centre caps.

The two predominant colours on your car are silver and black. It is by far the most potent colour combination of the C class, all the emphases between the different colour and finishes of silvers and blacks is where the potency of the combination works so well. Adding tiny spots of blue just creates an extraneous element in the mix. If your car was blue, it might work better.

AMG Coloured, with matching caps (These are mine) Sorry about the upside down pic.

I like the Black laurel wreath ones personally.....

 

[whitenemesis]

Hi Swozza, my car isn't an AMG so not sure fitting those would be 'correct'..

Look good though are they from AMG/MB?

No they are not original. Ebay

I have them on the center caps, number plate bolts, door pins and dust caps...... Maybe not to every ones taste but I like them.

Car maybe not AMG but your wheels are......

 

[6pot]

I voted Sterling Silver Stars. However I prefer the Black laurel wreaths (which I also have). As others have said they set the car of nicely...
