apologies - did not realise it was a floating cap. I was looking at them recently but my OCD (which I have clearly shown) will not live with it!
My OCD to have the caps always stand up straight beat my OCD to match them to the little wheel emblem.

I do like how they look overall as well. I did go with the OEM/blue ones because I wanted to match the other bits/pieces of white/blue, otherwise I would need to change all other emblems as well... needless to say if you change everything, it's extremely costly to go black/white.
