Default Center cap idea for my ZR1's

So I'm looking in to getting some new center caps made for my rims since I'm not a fan of sporting the vette logo on my car considering I don't have a vette. I was quoted at $75 for the caps which seems to be a decent price I guess... Anyways I've been toying around with this idea and design today and was wondering what everyones thoughts on these would be.

Initial version:


Current version:


Rims on car (no it's not in a handicap spot, I was unloading my old rims)


Let me know

WS6 centercaps fit in ZR1 rims perfectly, have you considered that? It'd look great with the black rims, have a factory look, and be a lot cheaper

no on the second one. too much red. centercap will take away from the wheel, IMO.

Cool to know that they fit, I don't have a WS.6 though so I'd rather not go in that direction.

I did a little more tweaking and made one with the Pontiac symbol and brought down the red level a little.

I missed that! Just saw yur hood and thought it was a ws6! (Now I remember a previous thread where we discussed that )

Thats the only thing keeping me from getting ws6 cenercaps for my ZR1's (that my car isnt a ws6)...I've considered getting ws6 caps and getting ws9 centercaps made. I would also like to know where you are getting your caps made!

Also, I really like the "faded" red/gold bird!

1st one...you'll see it but it won't stick out as the main focal point like the red
