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.

haha so im definitely going with wither leaving it as it is or leaving just the emblem, im getting it painted at Supa Mag Wheels, they specialize in wheels, fix any bends etc. There painting it and balancing it etc for $500 (all 4 wheels) Should i leave the small lip as it is or paint it black......im pretty sure im going to paint it black tho.........
