Wheel caps...black or red

[Devonboy]

I see that the centre wheel caps for the QP V are available in black and red...is there any rhyme or reason to fitment or pure personal preference?

I replaced mine a couple of years ago and looked at th red ones.
In the end I decided to go like for like with the silvery ones on my black QPV
I am pleased i did
I wanted to keep the car 'original'.
I bought them via ebay but they came from Gpaul Nottingham.
I guess in the end it is just personal choice

I put black ones from Eurospares on my Coupe, they fit both cars and are metal as opposed to the original more expensive plastic ones.
For only £7 a corner you can buy both sets and compare and contrast.
Red would suit the right body colour or red brake calipers.

Do you have a link please @midlifecrisis? Thanks - I can't seem to find them. When you say coupe would they fit a GS? I can't tell if they're a standard diameter / fit or wheel-specific.

Eurospares, if you go to their website the qp5 bits fit the 4200/GS wheels

Found the link

https://www.eurospares.co.uk/parts/maserati/qtp-2006-42/brakes-wheels/wheel-rim-and-tyre-36208 part number 82336806 is the item or you can have a look at Stradale wheels and take your pick.

https://www.eurospares.co.uk/parts/...brakes-wheels/wheels-and-tyres-51219/82336806 item 6 shows the range of options.
The Metal ones are far better than the plastic item 4 on https://www.eurospares.co.uk/parts/maserati/4200-coupe-2003/brakes-wheels/wheels-20509 and cheaper!
