Default Period Correct Colored Wheel Crests

Hello! I bought some Cup 1 wheels that came with non colored wheel centers, but I’d like to get some appropriate colored crest wheel center caps. What style and crest would I need? Any links? I’ll have to get the non crest portion painted to match the wheels.

Unfortunately the appropriate XD4 option colored crested caps are NLA. If the car was optioned with Cup or speedline wheels the cap should look like this. metal cap with gold Porsche lettering. If D90's they came with a larger crest most likely what you have just painted in color. These were changed in 95 when Porsche colored the Porsche lettering black. Those can still be had in plastic although were metal on the 993. the 964 versions used to sell for around $500 in disrepair needing paintwork. I haven't seen a set sell in a long time. I have a few I keep. If it isn't all that important to you then I would go with the 993 version.

Thank you. So the main crest difference would be the non-black Porsche lettering. I'm thinking these might be suitable then: https://www.aasesales.com/products/f2k-b52-57i-112875

Those are for D90, Clubsport and 928 flat face wheels, not only that, you can get them cheaper... https://www.sunsetporscheparts.com/o...saAo7CEALw_wcB

You need these if they are available, click the "Exploded Diagram" link and it shows this part number and the Cup 1 - http://www.autoatlanta.com/Porsche-H...C96403800.html

I have those caps on my 17" cup 1's, probably the best option for those wheels if you want colored crests
