SAMPLE PICTURES IN THE SPOILERS

Hey everyone, just got new wheels in an I'm curious what you guys think about the options I have. I have my own opinion but I'd like to see if anyone else has a point of view that might sway my decision.

Thanks for humoring me!


Here is how she currently sits. No center caps, no stickers


Quick mock up of the centercap I have. The other options would require me to rattle can the center caps. Shouldn't be an issue, really.


Click on spoilers to see samples with center caps
( Click to show/hide )

^Silver center caps


^Black center caps


^Bronze center caps, though I'll probably have difficulty getting such an accurate match.

( Click to show/hide )

^No center cap with logo


^Silver center cap with logo


^Black center cap with logo


^Bronze center cap with logo. Once again will probably have a hard time matching exactly.

Black or bronze. I think logos, but without is OK too.

Meh... I don't think it really needs center caps. I'd add the SSR stickers on the spokes for some extra flavor though.

LOL you got a 3 way tie going on.

Here look at it this way.

Put the center cap on. It looks good and you wont have an open hole..
you dont want water and poop getting in there and rusting and crapping.
I would put the sticker on. Its SSR it adds color and style. Its real! not Fake! do it.

Interesting spread. Lot's of different opinions; I like it!

As of this posting I'm kind of looking at it like this:

Between logo vs. no logo, it's 8-4 for logos.

As far as color is concerned, bronze color matched is currently at 6 of 12 votes; clearly the front runner. My main concern with the bronze is getting an accurate color match with paint.

Keep the votes coming, this is interesting =)
