May seem pointless, but to pass the time, heres a ques: what color center caps to get

I really like the white/red/blue ones but I have not seen them on a silver car...so just curious on people's thoughts. Yes, I know its a dumb question, but I do want to see if there is a consensus. Ive always gone black/silver but thats because I had black wheels....so if you have an opinion, Id love to hear it.

I had the red and blue HRE caps and even though they looked good, it didnt really match with anything on the car, so I just went with the silver/black ones.

Hi Pert,
You can go old school and get the classic MBZ logo/star in black if you can find them. Most of them are blue. You been at ACG lately?

I'd personally go with the stock HRE caps with the same color as the wheels.

I have the black/silver, but ordered the colored ones to try out after i get the new color done on my centers. I always liked the classic colored caps. All my other HRE's i had the etched aluminum caps.

I had the Red/White/Blue when I first got my last HRE's and had to swap them for the Black and Silver. Such a cleaner look.

Sorry for bumping an old thread from Pertplus.. But I'm in the same dilemma.

My new wheels came with the grey/black centercaps, but should I get the red/blue caps like my old P40 instead?

It's really all a matter of personal preference. I had both the black/silver and the classic red/white/blue center caps when I got my wheels. I decided to go with the classic HRE center caps since this was my first pair and they popped more. On a white car, both styles look good. Maybe Matt can chime in on this one since he's on his 20th pair of HREs and he's probably tried every combination of wheel finish and center caps.

I vote black and silver on a white car. The P40sc is already pretty busy, and the red and blue caps may be a bit too much.

Thx guys for ur feefbacks. Yeah, it would be nice to hear what OP (Matt aka Mr HRE) has to say. Lol

I really like the classic red/blue, but the grey/black might grow on me. Too bad they cost a lot at HRE or else I would get an extra set to switch them up.

Well, I got few months to make up my mind as a friend on mine can swap with me if I want the red/blue caps. Tough choice!

CF centercaps are too rich for my blood! Lol

I heard HRE wants 500-600$ for them.

Send them an email showing your devotion to the HRE brand and that you need support

Out of the two choices above, I'd say go with black/silver Meng

Seems like the majority likes the grey/black.. So I might look for a used red/blue set as a second set vs trading it with my friend.

Anyone who has a blue/red set that will fit 19inch HRE wheels.. PM me.
