Default Wheel Cap Color - Red or Green?

When I first put red ones on, I didn't like that they clashed with the brake calipers. I've gotten more used to it since, but then the green ones arrived.

If anyone with custom wheels wants advice on how to make these - let me know. I went through a few parts before getting them right.


Red Cap



Green Cap

I would opt for the black ones if you can still find them. It goes better with the car color, tires, and provides a nice contrast with the silver rims.

2nd choice would be the red. The green looks outdated to me.

Like XJL red or black but definitely the green throws everything off IMHO

Second the motion, either red or black. (prefer the red since that's what I just put on my red (Claret) XJL and in the near future I will also get the red caliper covers).

Those calipers will get dusty, they will not always look as pictured unless you are cleaning them every day. I would keep the red caps they look allot nicer than the green.
