Default Porsche / BBS Center Caps - Group Interest??

I posted a recent thread inquiring about Porsche crest center caps for BBS wheels, which as best as I can tell are not available anywhere. I have since talked to Ralph Boothe (http://www.boothedesign.com), and he has been thinking about making them but would like to see some interest before committing to production. He indicates he is the only person in the world authorized by PAG to make them. I did not ask about a group buy but perhaps we could if there is enough interest.

They would be made out of billet aluminum like many on Boothe's website. I didn't ask the price but on the website all the center caps are $75-$80 each.

If you have interest in purchasing them, please post on this thread or PM me.

I may be interested but would want to think about how they would look with the diamond black.

I have Black Diamond wheels too and hope Boothe will make the black center caps, probably with the silver Porsche crest, similar to this current product of his (but with the smaller crest):

I have the BBS RS-GT in polished silver; perhaps Ralph can offer them both ways. I'm in...

I have the diamond black RS-GTs and would love to get rid of the gold BBS caps. Keep me posted please and let me know what I can do to help in any way.

FYI....you'll want to check in with Ralph since his prices are substantially higher now. $75-80 is for plain centers with GOLD crests only. I spoke to him recently when I ordered mine and he said his website needs to be updated since the prices are outdated. Just a heads up.

Richard, it is worth it. I just picked up his silver crest center caps and they are locking as well. Very good build quality. Pricey at $95 a center, but look great.
