Which one?
I got bored and decided to make some center caps and then got an idea. I printed these out and slapped a coat of chrome paint. So I know this is loaded question but which one do you like?

Re: Which one?
What's the cap outer diameter and how are they retained?

A
OK, I am the outlier, (no surprise there) but I like the flush face of that one in contrast to the inset of the other.
You are getting GREAT shine off your chrome rattle can finish, for sure!

Re: Which one?
Personally, I like the depth of 'B'.
'A' makes the cap look like it's sticking out a bit too much.
Nice work either way!

Re: Which one?
Will the original caps work? I like "B" as it kind of feels like the original:

Re: Which one?
One way to do this is to put one type on LH side, and other other set on RH side.
I think I have heard of folks doing this when they ruin a rim and the replacement is NLA.
Drive it for a month and see which one you prefer.
