Default Wheel Center Caps?

I have some aftermarket AT Italia 17" wheels on my '87 auto. I was wondering what silver centercaps I can use w/ a Porsche crest. The outside of the existing caps is 3" and the hole is 2-3/8".

Will the center caps of a Cayenne fit?

I need a flat or domed cap, not concave.

Performance Products has an excellent selection of 3" non-concave center caps. Also check e-bay

Jamie Howton, a lister, is (or was) there. He had the same problem a few years back and made some elegant ones. I doubt he has any left, but the "tooling" might still be on file.

Neat stuff. They have a _very_ cool business card.

I took the old center caps from my slotted wheels had a machine shop cut them down to fit the BBS rims.

Wheels: I need some feed back , I painted one cap black and left one silver, which one do you like? I can not match the bright silver of the rims even with chrome paint so it will be a little less shinny then the rims. The black I like but I'm not sold on it, the pictures do not due it justice. Follow this link do a cut and paste to see the pictures.

If you need a custom size, Ralph Boothe can probably make them: http://www.boothedesign.com/centercaps.html

I've been very happy with mine:

What do you guys think of these?

Available in silver or chrome with either silver or gold crest; the crests are embedded into a layer of clear, non-yellowing polyurethane material.

Price is $99 for a set of four.

I have ordered one set with silver crest to see how they look, and shoul dhave them within the next few days.


Also, for 17" rims we have curb guards that protect the edge of the rim from getting scuffed on curbs. This is particularly helpful when using tires that don't have a pronounced curb protecting rubber edge, or when the rim extends very far out.

I ordered some of those as well. $78 for a pair.


I created a new product group "Porsche - Wheel Accessories" for these items at www.hookedoncars.com.

Nicole,
Those center caps w/the silver crest are VERY nice. Great price too. I will be ordering a set of those when I do my wheel rehab in May.

Those center caps Nicole is offering can also be custom ordered in any size for only a $25 CAD charge. I just got mine in 66mm - well, actually I also have a set in 64mm as well, not sure how I miscalculated the first time...They are gorgous and will go on my set of anteras.
