Need Your Opinion

I have Infiniti M45 wheels on my TL-S. I have removed the factory Infiniti emblem, and would like to replace it with an Acura brand emblem. I would like to know your opinions. I could easily do the Acura "A", but was considering doing a "Type S" badge from my generation TL. What are your thoughts? Should I stick with just an "A" or should I venture into a "Type S" badge on the wheels? Here's a link to the pics...https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-tl-photograph-gallery-99/gimme-your-opinion-my-new-wheels-914040/

IMHO, use the standard Acura "A". It'll make the wheels appear stock. You wrote on the other post that you wanted to keep a low profile. A red "Type S", although small, isn't low profile.

I honestly don't think that an "A" or a "Type R" emblem will garnish much attention, maybe just to people who know what is up. I think a large fart can grapefruit shooter exhaust and coilovers that lets my car look like it has no suspension and seem like its dragging the ground may bring some ungarnished attention, but seriously we are just talking about some 2" wheel emblems here...thanks for you opinion...I'm just looking for some unbiased opinions...

I voted for the standard A only because what I would do was not an option.

I would sport blank center caps.
I feel sporting Type S badges would almost be like trying to mass the wheels off as type s oem wheels. I know that is not the idea but it could seem that way to the unsuspecting hater.
The A badge is better, but still I feel it is someone trying to pass the wheels off as something they are not.
Most often I see this with Rotas and I figure they are trying to hide that they are rotas. Thought I would never rock the caps it came with, I would then opt for blanks in the same color as the wheel face or matching the lip if its a polished lip.

Once ya dip with the darker metalized charcoal, wait and see how they look just plain.
But, IMO.....the "A" would be the better choice, however it's your ride !!!

OK, I should have added "No Emblem". After reading everyone's responses, I think I am going to do the Plasi-Dip first and do a DIY at the same time, then ask if everyone thinks I should add an emblem. Someone has some Acura "A" centercaps in the black market right now, they also look like they are clipped to the caps. I may buy those and grind the clips off, then adhere them to the Infiniti centercaps. I will wait to see what the new color looks like first...here is a picture of my Jetta with the Anthracite wheels...
