Painting stock center caps with spokes or not...(not a repost...)

just to let everyone know, i searched a lot and couldnt find any info on the specific topic im trying to cover....

Im going to paint my stock 19" rims on my coupe...

Should i leave my center cap how it is, or paint it black also..im pretty sure it will look good painted all black, but i need everyones opinion...i can also get the center cap painted black and leave the infiniti logo (mt fuji) polished...

i put some pics together to give everyone else a better idea of what im trying to say.



WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT...lol


How it is without being painted



My 5 second mspaint job to give a small idea....(not a paintshop pro


please let me know what you think...thanks a lot.
