As far as I know the emblems were Silver White like the wheels so I'd match your wheels

I've used these in the past. They look very nice and way better than any attempt to paint. https://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=858763

Take note of the fact that those decals will only work on German caps, reproduction caps have slightly smaller logos and the decals will not fit correctly.
