Definitely aftermarket - here are the original Porsche ones - which look a little stark in comparison:

Oz-- Incredible, IMHO. Thanks for the follow-up photos.
Try clicking on the below photo, from the "I gotta NEW 993 MADE IN 2011 for the new year! ... thanks to RL!!!" thread.
(Kudos to RLer foudeS for the original link!)
Congrats Jäger!

what is the source of these beautiful silver/black centercaps?
Jon Paul-- Glad they caught your eye; next to Ralph Boothe's long-discontinued silver caps, these are my new favorite. They look like they'd be more affordable & convenient to find, too, since they appear to be OEM plastic backs, if not factory crests.
RLer No HTwo O (Bill), whom you may have purchased a steering wheel from, sold these on RL in August. Best to go 'bump' his thread for more info, since the source was asked, but left unresolved on his "FS New Black & Silver Porsche Crest Wheel Caps" thread. IMO, they're the caps Porsche should offer.
Mine:
Huge appreciation to Rennlisters Old Guy & especially Jenk12M.
After searching for full silver crest wheel centers to 100% match the jeweler's quality silver hood badge, I'd given up. Even Ralph Boothe's wife confirmed he had none to offer. After a couple PMs to Old Guy, however, my luck turned around. Thrilled when UPS delivered these rarities; with theft-deterrent backings:

Jon Paul-- ^^ White-Out? ![ducking](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/icon107.gif)
You're doing great: Let us know what you find
Brian-- Agreed, nice to have options other than gold-colored crests. The following silver with red works for my red car (with clear corners -- like your mods
)
Oh my frikin' gawd!!!
That completes your car (with the exception of billet centercaps
)
David-- As usual, you & I were already thinking alike before your above post...

Oz-- ^^ Spot on! Besides Old Guy & Jenk12M, I have RLer David in LA to thank (or blame
) for influencing/encouraging my centers & wheels...
having seen Jager / Curve Lover's wheels on his GR 993 Speedster there was only one set of rims calling and and tempting me to spend yet more £/$

The crest looks nice as it isn't just printed on the cap. Unfortunately my car is no where near the caliber of where you have yours Jager--it is just gorgeous! But I am enjoying it, so that is the important thing, right?

Brian-- Like you, I don't prefer the goldish color in the stock crest; another option - hopefully helpful:
HECK YA. Plus, I've enjoyed your RL threads. Please keep us updated re: your mods. Good luck & have fun!

Thanks. Thinking about those from Andreas. I like seeing the crest on the hood but If I can't find a crest that looks nice with these caps, I may end up with the black. Need to get rid of the gold.
