Default CL Center Cap Options?

Hey fellow RL'ers,

Have any of you seen or know where to source a different CL center cap? My incoming RS I have spec'ed with the Aurum wheels which will have the matching center caps. I also have a set of black wheels for my track set. My car is GR and it would be neat to find a set of the center caps with the RS script in red as opposed to the silver or tan.

I feel like I have seen the red RS script center caps on 997.2 GT3RS's before.

Any info would be appreciated!

- Chris.

if the 991 is the same as 997, dont use caps at track, they will just pop off from heat

That isn’t an answer to my question.

I put over 3,500 track only miles on my RS and never lost a cap. Personally I keep my center caps on to keep grime out.

Appreciate staying on topic.

I also have tons of miles on track with CL caps on and have never lost one.
I have seen the black/red ones for the 997 but not the 991.

Are the sizes any different between 997 and 991 hub nuts?

Im using the same socket and they look very similar if you find one you like in 997 might give it a try.

Good point. I assumed the 997.2 CL nuts where different.

If these guys did work it would be a simple solution: https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/RSCLCS.html

Ah. Custom CL caps was discussed previously in a thread somewhere. I think the only guy that did it was via a decal.
