Well, I pulled the trigger and finally bought a set of hollow turbo twists (NB) from a fellow RL'er and now I need to replace the center caps. I have seen so many on e-bay for sale and I can't figure out which ones to buy. Does anyone know where to buy the painted center caps with the grey finish? The center caps on my current wheels are painted but the SP II's I have now are chromed. Which style are most people putting on their twists?

Thanks,

Jon

Hi Jon, don't know the seller but these caps look great on the hollow twists.

Hey John,

I just ordered the the plastic black and silver ones (same as the ebay listing) from sunset for about $11 each. Not the best ones out there I am dumping all the gold and going silver. I think silver looks best on a black car.

Hopefully this warmer weather will allow us to take our cars out for a little work out soon.

Cheers,
Steve

Thanks for the link and suggestions. I'm going to check out Sunset and see if the price is still the same. Steve, I had the ice scrapers outside our house at 6:00am removing 6" of accumulated ice. I think I'm more worried about the potholes now than the ice. Did you look up the center caps on Sunsets website or just call them?

Thanks- Jon

I just called them up. Price should be the same as bought them less than 2 months ago. I have the box with the P/N at home. I will get you the number tonight.

The $11 center caps (silver with black crest) are:

Hubcaps, dished 993.361.303.119a1

Cheers!

Yep, thats the number alright.

Which wheels are the dished caps for? Just the twists?

I noticed that the flat-slightly convex caps don't match the curves of the stock 993 17s very well. Looks like a slightly dished cap might look better. Can they be used on stock wheels?

97Targa993

I haven't installed mine yet, but I have the stock 17" two piece targa wheels. Hopefully they will look good, if not I will be shopping for others.

Great, thanks for the help everyone. I guess before I buy them from Sunset, anyone selling these center caps in discussion?

Thanks again- JH

OK... two young kids, soccer practices, business travel, etc. has prevented me from finally installing my new wheels. I am now finally getting around to installing the wheels but first I need new front tires and center caps. I called Sunset today and they mentioned that there is the flat and dished caps. Does anyone have any pictures of the dished caps (993.361.303.1191a1) on a set of hollow spoke twists or standard NB twists?

Thanks for your help.

Jon,

I have the Sliver & Black caps on solid spoke twists. I can post a picture for you in the next couple of hours.

Brian, thanks. Do you know if they are dished or flat? I would assume I like dished better but the Sunset guy made me think otherwise. Thanks again.

They are slightly dished. I was able to get the pictures quicker than I thought...the beauty of working at home.

jhale

Yup, these are the ones I want. Thanks Brian. What size tires are you running up front? I have brand new 285/30's in the rear so I'm only replacing the front's. I'm planning on 225/40's up front on these wheels. Is this the size you're running?
