I personally think slipstreams look out of place on any car that isn't a honda. I prefer the flat black though.

Take 'em off. I think the Rota centercaps look like crap, but that's just my take on it.

I'm with Sushiboy..Take em off! Your sporting knock-off rims. Using the center caps only further proves you bought Rota's instead of the Spoon's.

At the end it will always be your call, but in my case I like to leave the wheels the way they are. If they come with center caps, I would leave them on. But still I think those look good both ways. You definitely paid for the caps even if you do not use them. But again at the end it should be what makes you happy and obviously they need to look good.

My advice, try to find pics of the wheels with and without caps installed on other cars. Sometimes that helps visualize wheels better.
