Default BBS LM's ordered. Center Caps?

I ordered some BBS LM's today (18X8 and 18X10).

1. Best source for Center Caps?
2. I like the look of Painted Gold/Bronze centers (BBS puts this on many of its wheels, but not on this size.) Would this affect the resale value (over stock silver)?
3. So F-ing Excited!

I'll give you $1000.00 for them, seriously.

I'm excited for you too! Some day RSGT's will be mine.

I guess you already know the picture rule.

Have a happy holiday!

I vote no center caps. I think the wheels look cleaner and more race-like. In fact, it is how a race car would look.

Good thought Mark. I had a saab turbo with minilites and always left the center caps off just for that reason. BTW, we have a dog named Rudy...It sure is easy to get attatched to cars and dogs.

Minilites....mmmmmm. Cool wheels.

What kind of dog is your Rudy? Yep, the dogs especially have a way of getting into your heart...well, the cars, too, but not as much.

Rudy is on the left...Stelli is the one on the right that he wishes would go away. ("Schnauzer-The Porsche of dogs")
Beau (black cocker) was my bachelor dog...he was the best. Miss him alot.

I am considering doing the centers like this...I think a good look for arena red...what do you think?

I vote for BBS center caps with the gold letters which signifies BBS forged!

Dogs R Cool. Wishing you many happy years with your pups.

Black center caps look really good. Love the contrast.

Gold with BBS centre caps please!!!

Cannot wait for the photos....then again they may just push me over the edge, far enough to make me push the button for LMs too.

Note to self, stay off RL for the next twelve months to avoid seeing Andy B's gorgeous Arena Red NB on Gold BBS LMs!
