The summer is slowly coming, however it really doesn't look like it yet, lol!

I ordered these two different type wheel bolt caps to hide the grey bolt ends on my wheels, but can't decide which one I should use. Huge problem, isn't it!
So, the others are black chrome and the others are almost matte black. My car is sapphire black. The matte black ones would go well with the matte black center of the wheel, but black chrome ones would make a nice detail, I think.

Black Chrome...Like you said, it would make a nice detail. It will give the wheels a nice dimension where the matte black will just flatten the face more.

Agreed, black chrome would add a nice, yet subtle contrast. I can't wait to see the installed pics!

...also with the black chrome against the matte black, it looks almost like you have your body color bolts.

I was thinking exactly the same.
