Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

10 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm planning to get my Cayman wheels refurbished soon and will probably go for silver again to match the centre caps, however, there is the option to choose a different colour for the wheels so I was wondering how other people solve the problem of colouring the centre caps to match? My centre caps are currently silver with a black Porsche crest. Thanks. DM

POST 2Original post

I've just had my wheels refurbished and colour changed. The caps are being done in the same colour and finish. I'll post some pics up when I can, it's getting detailed at the moment.

POST 3Original post

If you're not too concerned about keeping OE ones, a reasonable choice of colours are available here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4X-Porsche-GREY-Wheel-Ce...

POST 4Original post

As above when painting wheels paint the caps. Sounds obvious now doesn't it

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for your replies. Please do post some pictures of your wheels/caps when you get them back. I'm not too bothered about keeping OE caps so will probably buy some from eBay and get them painted to match the wheels.

POST 6Original post

I'm rolling with an OEM set of [997 Turbo?] chromed caps with the black crest on my 986 with silver 17" Boxster wheels. I didn't plan to but that's what turned up when I ordered a replacement set online. The 'chromed look' may sound naff but it's reasonably discrete and you could even go further and say that they compliment the shiny surfaces of the discs....

I posted mine in the recent wheel refurb thread in here.
