    the fuzziness is my phone camera! but yeah, i see that now that you say it. They actually haven't been cleared yet either, but will be.



    I actually have a set of those blue amg caps off of another set of 18s i have laying around (which i'm going to refinish and sell here soon. my stock 17s will be for sale too). While the carbon fiber look ones with the chrome stars are the other option i was seriously considering.

    so, thanks for the responses guys, but you basically suggested the two options i was already considering and got me no where... lol.

    so which ones?

    I believe the man who said to use the blue embossed centercaps is going to be the winner. Soon as i threw them on with those i decided i didn't like them, lol.

    I do like the way it looks overall though

    not right now-

    i threw them on today on the way to work etc.

    They look WAY better even with the "wrong" centercaps than they would in a solid color imo

    i'm very busy right now trying to finish up wrx mods (going from stock to 300 awhp within 2 weeks of buying it is rough work, lol) and likely wont' get real great pics for a while.
