Suggestion

I ended up pouring clear epoxy over the emblem/cap while on the wheel and let it fill almost up to the edge of the wheel surface (of course I had removed the wheel and had it laying flat on the floor).

You needed to use craft epoxy but then it probably won't endure the elements either.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Cross posting for a little more exposure: I need some help from the Rennlist brain trust. I have some aftermarket wheels on my car and don't know the brand. I am trying to find center caps but these will not accept the standard Porsche caps that clip in. It looks like they are a screw on type and I have never seen anything like this. Can anyone direct me to what kind of caps may fit these wheels? I dont really care if they are Porsche crests or not, just something to cover up the spindle.

POST 2Original post

Got to a local tire shop that sell a lot of aftermarket rims. They should be able to help finding a replacement cap.

POST 3Original post

Well... I had the same problem. I looked all over and couldn't find anything that fit my ATS wheels. I ended up buying blank plastic wheel caps that fit center hole, and 4 small metal Porsche crests (designed for steering wheel I think) on ebay. Then I painted caps to match wheels, stuck Porsche crests on, and covered cap and crest in a clear epoxy resin. They aren't perfect but look pretty damn good for what it is. I can post pictures at some point if interested.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Did you epoxy the finished crests to the wheel?

POST 6Original post

I did not adhere the cap to the wheel with epoxy. It snapped in tight. But the blank cap was not a perfect fit as it sat down in the hole a little. I ended up pouring clear epoxy over the emblem/cap while on the wheel and let it fill almost up to the edge of the wheel surface (of course I had removed the wheel and had it laying flat on the floor). The only thing I noticed is a slight yellowing of the epoxy. I don't think there are UV inhibitors in it. The caps are removable but I don't plan on pulling them off.

POST 7Original post

Wad up some aluminum foil & stuff it in the hole -- tell everyone it's a rat rod.

POST 8Original post

a job well done there I'd say.

POST 9Original post

Most epoxy's turn yellow with sunlight/curing. You needed to use craft epoxy but then it probably won't endure the elements either.
