black ON BLACK! Opinions needed for centers...y/n??

As stated, just need some opinions. my 35ae wheels were outta tred, and I got these for free so that's the reason I got these 20's. Brand new tires. (decent) but w.e. I wanted to change the look up. With or without center caps??

Only thing throwing me off is my center hub is rusted. So i'll try to paint that. But the rims aren't just one hole for 1 lug, there's 2 right next to each other so it KINDA gives a lil ricey look... idk.. I like w.o also.

Without, looks more aggressive when the bolts show, just paint the center hub.

Here's the bad news. 2 Lug nuts (tunner) were cross threaded and I didn't know. So when I put them on the last wheel 2 of my da@#M studs got cross threaded. I figure i'll have to buy 2 new studs tomorrow (not a biggie, $2 a piece) but anyone know how to instal studs???

FYI::: I did search, and thank you.. broken links. As usual.

Can't you paint the caps? That might be the best of both options.

Not digging the faux-rivets on the rims, but black with a trim ring does work well on your car.

i'm not 110% satisfied with them. Rolling and at night I love them. Still it's decent but i'm not gonna complain for a free set of rims. I agree with the rivets but it's all good I s'pose.

knock out the old ones with a hammer, then put in new stud in hole, put on a ton of washers then use the lug nut to kind of pull the stud into place

paint the center caps black.... buy some black lugs,...and try to paint the rivets black... that would give the best overall flow.. in my opinion..
