RPF1 Wheel caps yay or nay

Have black 17x9 RPF1's on my car and I'm considering buying these wheel caps .

Not sure if they'll look good or bad on black wheels though. kind of 50/50 on them.

Do you like the way they look in the pictures? Do you like the way your car looks without caps? Answer those simple questions and you wont need people to tell you what you like!!

I'd say go for it. Just the fact that they will protect the hub from random street junk and rain.

I have them on my set of RPF1s, FWIW.

If the caps were flat and matched the finish, yes.

I just got some flat Honda caps and color matched them. Super cheap and look way better! They fit perfectly too. Not loose or anything.

I prefer the look with center caps, just not the ones you currently have
@BirgeyT1's look perfect IMO

I like the design of the rpf1 caps... I just don't like how tall they are. If they were more flat, I'd be into them

adds too much weight.

Like everyone else said, go for a flatter type center cap and It'll look good

Birgey's look great. The raised caps aren't my cup o' tea.

Electric box caps painted works well and is cheap.

Plus if you lose them its about irrelevant

+1 if only for that. I like them, but I'd like them more if they were lower profile.

yeah the high profile is what's putting me off a little. Wish RPF1 were compatible with the regular flat profile Enkei caps.
