Default Porsche Crest centercaps for Fikse and other custom wheels

I was reading this month's issue of Excellence and there was an editorial about a 930S that had been modified by S-car-go. That's all good, but what really caught my eye was the massive Fikse FM-10's with PORSCHE CREST centercaps!

So last night i was reading Porsche Panorama and found a business that specializes in centercaps for aftermark custom wheels. Here is a link to their gallery. They also have a "spinner" type cap that stays rightside up and stationary while the car is moving, and there is a cool video of that on the site as well.

Thee Spinner cap is like the 18 wheeler caps that keep mileage!

Sweeeet. If only the ones pictured in # 836 came in white... Photoshop anyone??? I'm guessing if my factory caps stick out in the front on my SportclassicsII these will too though...

Sorry, it was not Panorama that i found them in, it was excellence. I got confused. I emailed Ralph Booth with some questions and mentioned that i had found him in Panorama and he replied that he had not been Panorama in years. Whoops LOL.

Last I spoke to him he was getting ready to retire and sell off his patents. I have a couple of sets of his crested caps and extra tall polished lug nuts, they are great quality. Don't know how to get in touch with him but I believe his lug nuts are still being sold on pelican maybe they know how to contact him.
