Painted Rota center caps, use them or trash them?

I painted them to look like the Mugen center caps for my black w/ red lip Rota Group N's since I think they are ugly as hell. Don't know if I should use them or just go capless. Tell me what you think, I'm leaning towards using them. Thanks

On those wheels.

yeah and if you don't like em take them off and spray them black and don't worry about it. either way it will look better than no center cap
