black will look a lot better. but either make the centercap white, or paint it black along with the rest of the rims.

I just did mine the same way.. I'll make sure to take a couple pics tomorrow when I get home.

You definately need to match the caps and clean the tires up. They need fresh tire shine to set them off for sure. My wife dislikes them as well as my dad, but I love them.

I don't like them. I think you should sell them to me to get them off your hands
