Those look nice. It'll match the rest of your CF parts.

I honestly think CF done tastefully and not overdone is nice. Sometimes a bit too much CF is bad.

I have gunmetal MB caps and I think those would be much better to match your wheels.

They are not real CF, are they?

HI,
I bought the chrome ones for my stock AMG wheels. The plastic is very cheap on them. I broke three out of the four caps just by pushing them into the wheels. I wish I knew this before I bought them for $39.00... and waited two weeks to have them sent from Taiwan.

I also buy those wheels caps and the plastic immediately broke
I take off the carbon and paste it into the original wheels caps has been great

Hhmmmm these are almost double from the original ones that i've seen sooo $80 plus for center caps just may sound a tad too much for this kind of mod so id more than likely pass but thanks for all the advice and input
