What picture looks better?

Hi guys.

I received my BBS wheels today and I am trying to figure out what center cap to use. I like the Mercedes star but unfortunately they only come in 75mm, while the BBS center cap is 70mm. If I use the star I will have to glue it on. What do you think? Any suggestions?

Definitely the star. You might also try the "Classic" Black.

I do like the looks of the star better, however, you will be using a BBS rim with a MBZ star. Therefore I would use the BBS cap even though the star cap looks better.

The star matches better IMO but the BBS logo will show everyone what wheels you really have. I ask you this, if you spent all the money on those wheels because of BBS quality why put the star on it? I don't see one person with similar quality HRE's putting stars on theirs. When I see star logos I think the wheels are imitations as mentioned earlier. Go for the BBS center but get it in black. I had the black centers on my 210 E55 and my E46 M3. Either way, those wheels are bad ***.

The BBS is in silver right? If so go with the BBS , if the BBS is gold, I would use the star.
