Default Mina Gallery center caps...

Has anyone bought these Mina Gallery center caps?? If so got any pics of them on your wheels. Wondering what these look like on an S type and how they look mounted on a wheel. Pictures of the caps just laying there really isnt helping me decide if I should get them. My growlers aren't looking so hot and they really just dont look right on the chrome rims so I was thinking of going this route. For the price can't really beat them if they look good cause they are cheaper then stock replacements. Any thoughts??

I really don't know what those look like. But, for months I've been very interested in getting the Arden ones. Too bad they are so pricey. Plus their website doesn't support English when it comes to the buying process. So its a pure guess; I've tried to translate to the best I can, but to make a $150 mistake its what keeps me from doing it.

I do have friend in Germany, I might have to ask her to do it for me...

I can't find any center caps on the Arden website, but if you use the Chrome browser it will translate the website into english for you.

The Mina caps look cool and are half the price of the replacement for stock caps. I lost apparently lost a cap somewhere, I think a dealership forgot to put it back on.

I think the orange may clash with your "Riski Red" calipers. I have the Mina badges and they are defeintely orange.

I am sure you thought of this, but ebay has quite the collection of pretty cool center caps.

They are orange?? Thanks for that info cause in the pics they look red. Well might have to go with these then. Yea I have been glancing around on ebay. I just saw the mina's and they looked chrome black and red which would of been perfect but figured I'd ask. Glad I did cause in the pics they look red and I would of been bummed when they came and ended up being orange.

When we get Joyces Jag back I will take a picture for you in the sunlight. If you look at the top of their website page, there is a badge in the middle that also looks red, but its not, those are what I have.

Thanks for the pic Rick. Thanks for the link everyone else. Its tough now. The link with the center caps on the black car it didn't really seem to clash with his red calipers. I will ponder this some more before I make my decision if I even decide to do something different. I just really liked the minas cause they had the chrome surround which would of been perfect for my wheels. I really dont want them though if they are orange. Will have to see what she looks like after my next little minor thing comes in the mail this week. Pics will be up once I get them.

Cool

I have the Mina Gallery caps on my X-type. they Look great but 3 of them fell off for some reason within the first month! They are a little cheaply made in my opinion, but they look great if you can get em to stay in!

Clear silicone works wonders!
