If they are colored crests they should be two piece with a separate sheild glued onto plastic center capp if OEM. The one peice ones with color painted on plastic is knockoff.

I have had two of these crests come unglued and fall off requiring that I buy and entire new cap. Why. The crests should be sold separately. I have 4 caps now with the crests missing.......
Nobody sells just the crest.

Looked these up the other day - seems the crest version is actually cheaper than the standard version! Not sure about the US this was AU pricing.

Still not cheap though.
