Color Crests or Black Crests on Turbo Wheels? '09 blk/blk cab?

I'm getting my Turbo wheels put on tomorrow. I have both color crest and black crests? Looking online it seems like the Turbo's are always black.

Thoughts?

Color or Black?

the polished caps for turbo wheels with color crests are REALLY expensive.

Remember the turbo wheels are polished so you have to get polished centercaps if you want them to match - the gray and polished are very different.

I'm running the gray with colored crest and they look fine to me. You can tell they don't match as well as the polished caps but I find the colored crest keeps the eye focused on that and not the color difference. I don't want to spend $450 for polished caps with the colored crest.

It doesn't really matter in my books. Therefore, I would opt for what's readily available and cheaper. The color one looks nice while the B&W one looks simple and sporty.

$450 for center wheels caps is ridiculous.

Jesus, I'll stick with a non-turbo 911 for a while. Not that it's not affordable, but every time I look at my wheels, I'd be like "I spent $500 bucks for that!"
