Between those 2, I'd get the black cause it doesn't break up the overall look of the wheel. However, if it were me, I'd just get a colored crest against black done up. I think the central nut looks wannabe as the 5 bolts are still there to hold the wheels on.

I was planning on doing the crest area black as well. I also had contemplated on the "wannabe" aspect of the whole thing, but I need new center crests as mine are badly faded and tortured from the sun so for the same price as OEM centercaps I thought I could do something different.

I had my OEM centercaps color match painted to my grey wheels, and like the look...

Those look great. If I could just find the crests, I wouldn't need the caps...I would just replace the crests.

Thanks. I think you can get the cheaper colored knockoff ones on EBay, and then just paint the silver section to black to match your wheels. I have those cheap eBay knockoff centercaps on my winter wheels, and they look ok...

The caps are cheap on eBay. Buy them, mask off the crest and paint them black. That would be my choice

They come in black, too. 
Edit: Well, they used to be available in black, but I can't find them anymore. I only found one set of silver replicas, too.

I agree with this, the wheel is very smooth & minimalistic & the center cap is the opposite design.
