Wheel centre caps

[AMGeed]

Finally got around to putting on the Affalterbach AMG centre caps I bought before last Christmas.
Now they are on, I'm unsure if I prefer them to the black ones I took off.
Any views?

Old ones.


New ones.

Sorry but on the black wheels I like the old ones best but imho the AMG ones would look superb on silver wheels.

I like both Slightly prefer the black ones though - sorry

Same much prefer 3 pointed star wheel centres, especially on black wheels

I think I prefer the black ones too, a bit more striking

I too prefer the black centre caps and I have them on mine, although they are a carbon effect.

Have one of each on each side...

Removing the new ones tomorrow and will be selling them.
I also prefer the all black with star caps.

Yes, but only if it has the engine builders plaque on the engine

^ Obvious photoshop. It's on crooked

It requires 8 cylinders as well.

Removed the offending wheel centre caps. de-tarred and thoroughly cleaned the insides of the wheels and applied a coating of Bilt Hamber double speed wax. That's all the wax I have and I couldn't be ar$ed to walk to Halford's in the hope they had some dedicated wheel wax.
Also took the opportunity to wax the faces of the alloys and apply a coat of Megs Tyre Gel. Run out of that now so that's two items needed. Now back to OEM look in below photo.
Just about to put the Affalterbach caps in the classifieds if anyone is interested in buying them. If not its on to eBay.

Right decision - I think the 3-pointed star centre looks like it's meant to be there.

Should I have my engine flushed?

It’s not a prerequisite for fitting wheel centres…

I have the 3 pointed star but in all black in my black wheels

Genuine AMG centre caps look smart but very expensive the copy’s with the full tree look tacky
