Default 18" Twist Center Cap Size?

Have a set of NB 7.5 and 10"X18 twisties and wanted to know what size center caps to get? Seems like they are sized in MM for the mating diameter. Anyone have a good source for these (read: inexpensive) in the plain silver with black crest?

Thanks
Bill

I have a set that came with my hollow spokes if you are interested. I will measure them if need be.

Aren't they all the same size on the original turbo twist wheels, come to think of it on all the original wheels on the 993?


Your dealer will confirm that they will fit when you order them.

Thanks Perry. Was not looking to go the dealer route, but was picking up my steering rack brace and inquired about the caps at the counter. Looks like they are pretty standard and bought them there for $14 a pop. Not too bad I thought.

Dave - thanks so much for the offer! Are they black or painted?

My car is a driver and far from concourse quality. They are definitely good enough for me, so If Shu isn't interested, I will happily donate a turney to the charity of your choice.

Default Turbo Twist(18'') wheel center cap size

Can anyone confirm for the 18'' turbo twist wheels that the center cap size is 76mm?


a 993 forum showed this part number. Can anyone confirm these are 76mm?
I've got 18'' turbo twists on my 1980 928 - I like how they fill out the wheel well.
I treat it as a grand tourer and don't push the car in corners so have yet to have the tires rub the wheel wells.
