I got these from a place in Florida call Ernie's Porsche Alloys. They were new in the box never been on a car. Ernie said he bought out a supplier when they stopped making this model wheel.

If your car is an 86 or earlier I have another set almost as "new" they were taken off a new Porsche right after the car was purchased. They are early off-set and my car is an 87 which is late off-set.

yeah i agree...porsche caps don't look right. I liked them better in the tire only pictures but on the car they look weird. Definitely BBS caps for me.

They are gold in center but can easily be changed to silver or black or whatever color your heart desires.

Here is a picture of all of them.

BBS caps. The Porsche crests are overstated and too busy, especially in color. You don't need to broadcast you're driving a Porsche, makes it look like you're trying to make up for something ;-)

I usually like the Porsche crests, in fact I voted for them, but after veiwing the pics they look a little funky on the hex shaped cap that protrudes from the wheel like that. I have to change my vote to BBS. Nice rims either way. You should be proud!

BBS all the way. Porsche caps look cheap on these wheels for some reason. They just don't look right, like a ricey sticker. Just my $.02. Wheels are nice though.

+1 They do look cheap. I'd like the Porsche crest if they didn't look like cheap rubber plastic stuff. ha.

Nice wheels. Can't say why, but the BBS caps seem to look better.
