Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored.

I have 19 inch wheels with center caps with the colored crests. One of the crests has fallen or pried off and lost or stolen. Is it possible to buy only the crest and glue it in the center cap? From the way it looks the crest was glued onto the center cap. There appears to be glue residue left on the cap leading me to believe it was pried off and stolen. I have a pic but cannot figure out how to post it here?? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Catalogs I have checked do not have 996's replacements yet.

. When I was there getting my curbed wheel replaced the guys over there were showing me individual colored wheel crests. They are awesome, and have very reasonable prices.
996 aero, I don't know how much of a rush you are in. I just bought a set of caps and plan to put mine on ebay. Here is a pic of the ones I'll be selling. I got them on ebay and had Melissa Moody at
www.center-caps.com
paint them for me.
yeah I look under the key words Porsche center, porsche centers, porsche cap(s). You should find a bunch. Wow don those are really cool centers. Is it me or are those different than the regular painted ones? Sorry my car is totaled so I can't go down and look at mine! doh!
oh btw, dunno how you feel about them but there is a guy that is selling gt3 centers that look cool as all hell. I am not about putting incorrect badging but I must admit I considered it when I had my car as I don't care for the oem optioned painted centers I have.
Sean, I got these on ebay myself. They were just black and silver. As I said I sent them center-caps.com to have the red and clearcoat put on. The new ones I'm getting are more "3 dimensional" in that they will have silver crests imbedded in the cap.
What do the GT3 caps look like?
Don,
I have the full colored ones but if I get no results with two others places I have contacted I would definately be interested in yours. Let me know when they go on e-bay.....I only need one but I can't seem to find a match anywhere. Don't know how to post a picture or I would. I would like to have them before October...Going to enter my 996 in a concours then.
SPR...Any pics of the GT3's available????
996 Aero
you can find a variety of caps on e-bay
on the parts and accessories section of e-bay motors,
your main subject is "porsche 996"
I too wanted a change from the painted caps and found these
on e-bay. yes I know that I do not have a GT-3 (not yet anyway)
but with the aero kit and other mods I did not feel too bad about
getting them. So far I don't think I have offended anybody. If you are doing
concours, then maybe you cannot get away with it.
You can get a set for 75-100. Even if you only need one, always good to have some extra around, just in case.
Here is a pic on my sport designs. Hope this helps
Don,
Can you post a picture of your "3 dimensional" looking caps when you get them? Also, are your wheel lug nuts chromed or polished? where did you purchase the lug nuts?
Jeff
Hi Jeff: I don't have the new center caps yet, but I will post a pic as soon as I do. Regarding chrome... since my car is an 02, they are the stock 30mm wheel bolts that were chromed on an exchange program with
www.wheelenhancement.com.
Cost about $200.
Thanks to all for the feedback. After researching all the sites I finally found a exact match at wheel enhancment. Can't believe alot of these folks will not sell just one! Have to buy four..WEll, ..I only need one. Wheel enhancment came through. Thanks Fanman.
Don or anyone else: I have been unable to find chome lug bolts that "look" OEM like Don's pictured above. I've sent
www.wheelenhancement.com
numerous e-mails over the past month with no response. Are they still in business or is business so good off the street that e-commerce business to them takes second seat? Are there any other retailers carrying OEM style chromed bolts?
Thanks..Michael
My sons an I were washing the 996 today, while hosing down the wheel we all hear a "cling" sound. It was one of the Porsche crests blown off the centercap by the water stream. What a joke, these things cost a lot of money and can't take a water hose ??. I think I'm going back to the plain old black centers jeez.
Hi Don, I have the 3D caps your talking about.
The crest is embossed into the aluminium and is not stuck on the surface.
They are also slightly concave. That is, they are not flush and seem to protrude inwards. When my wife comes back from Spain with the digicam I will take a close up pic.
Cheers,
Berny
