Question Who else has 18in Speedlines? I Need some help.

Hi guys,

Who else on the board has 18in speedlines on their car? What have you done for replacement center caps?

I lost one of the caps, so I ordered a new set of the Silver & Black ones from Vertex. They arrived but are too large. A call to Vertex resulted in finding out all they have are the large ones. They are 3" in diameter, but my old ones are only 2.25"

Any ideas?

Thanks

LOL sorry Gert, I had obviously not had enough coffee and my fingers were not as accurate at speed across the keys as normal............

Not that Bert is a bad guy. Gert is easier to deal with. BTW Bert is on Holiday

Actually, I think Bert and Ernie are partners....if you know what I mean.

Factory 3.6T "Speedline for Porsche" wheels use the standard 3" center caps which can be found on Ebay or most places. Do you have factory speedlines or another variant of their product?
