If they offered those in B&W they would be perfect! I'd buy a set in a heartbeat!

If these wheels were black I think they would blend in nicely. But I think the silver star caps would probably match better. I always liked that logo though.

I am glad that you posted this thread. I am in the same situation. I wanted to put some cool center caps on my 19 AMG multi-spoke rims and I didn't really want the usual MB symbol.

I like the AMG affalterbach center caps but I wasn't sure it would look good with these rims and on a iridium silver car. What do people think?

I had also considered these:

I saw those too - went against them because of the black ring and my wheels had no black on them but I think theyd go well with the multi spokes

I ended up with AMG center caps that were brushed and polished but they seem kind of boring to me now.

Thanks. I think I am going to go with these since the black sorta goes well with the multi-spokes since the inners parts of the spokes are dark grey.

EBAY is littered with them. We need the 75mm/72mm ones.

Great looking wheels. My favorite Modulare wheels. If wheels are in that finish, I'd keep stock Modulare centers.

Im going to take a shot and see...I agree with most that it might be too much on a blck car but you never know til you try. Thinking back to my M3, the BMW caps had the 2 bright blue patterns and I think it looked great, so maybe it will work.

If I dont like it Ill just use my brushed AMG caps and sell these.

Question though - Is the only way to install the center-cap by taking the entire wheel off?

if you don't take the wheel off, you risk messing up the caps and/or the wheel. I wouldn't do it without taking them off......i've tried, and nicked my old wheels.
