I have the factory 17 cup wheels with the painted porsche crest center caps. After refinishing all 4 wheels, I did the proper thing - pointed the crests toward the valve stems. After my first drive, I realized that my crests were rotating around. A few are actually loose enough to rattle slightly when tapped.

I searched the RL KB and could not find anyone else that has mentioned this back to 2001.

I want to know if this is normal or if Im on the verge of loosing the caps during spirited driving. Is there a way of securing these? if they are too loose?

If your center caps have the 'cup' riveted to the rear, you simply need to take a set of needle nose pliers and gently flare the edges of the cup outwards in a few places. This will cause the center cap to once again sit tight within the wheel.

Naturally, you'll need to remove the center caps first....

Apply a small dab or thin skin of RTV on the fingers of the center cap. Let dry. Install. The RTV helps the fingers grip the wheel. Mine have NEVER moved.

just think people pay loads for rotating centre caps on other cars like the rolls royce phantom!
