Default AEV Argent Pintler Cap Pics?

After much forum research, I think I may have finally found a favorite wheel, the AEV Argent Pintler. It certainly seems to be a favorite/popular wheel. I must say I wasn't crazy about the yellow center cap for my green Rubicon, but found silver & black center caps on Quadratec that I really like, but haven't found many pics showing the caps installed. Would greatly appreciate any pics. Thanks!

I was just at my Jeep dealer getting the recalls taken care of on the door locks and suspension torque. While sitting around for hours waiting I picked up a brochure and saw very familiar wheels with Jeep centers and front bumper as seen on AEV web site. They don't say AEV but a comparison is unmistakable. Also have the same 5 hole wheels in black and silver, but the brochure doesn't have MOPAR's part number or price. I guess the parts desk can give pricing.

The yellow can be annoying if you focus on it, but it can also be a unique identifier of a great brand of wheels. I had a lot of people ask me about the yellow saying they liked it. Oddly, the other colors for AEV caps are black and silver, but no argent. I was curious about the Jeep brand caps that come in the stock charcoal moab rims, so I bought a set of 4 of those through Qtec. While the color does match basically exactly, the Jeep caps are about 1/16" smaller than the AEV caps, so although they snap into the AEV wheel and stay there, they do move around a little. Probably a little epoxy would solve that issue. Here's a couple pictures to compare on my argent pintlers.



Sorry for the exposure on the pic below, it's a very bright day and an iPhone pic

Thanks ntropy, that's good to know on the Jeep caps! I don't mind the black or silver AEV caps, but not sure of the two which would look better, if I decide I don't like the yellow on my green Jeep. Your Jeep looks great & is one of the best ones I remember seeing with those rims once I did some forum searching. I also am trying to decide between BFG MT KM2 like you have or the Toyo OC MT.

I tried the mineral gray Jeep caps on my Argent Pintlers as they are a perfect color match ... but as ntrpy said they do not fit snug so I returned them to QTec and went with the black AEV caps.

To say, "black on black" sounds like i'm searching for pornography, but here goes:
