Has anyone see these crazy things before? They had an ad in EXCELLENCE mag. See video....

They are either darn cool or way too tacky. Anyone seen them in action? At $600 large, they probably need to be more cool than tacky.

Hmmm. I guess I think it's just not nessesary. That said, I DO LOVE the colored center caps. But I personaly don't care if you can see them when the car is moving. Although I was thining about putting spinners on my ryde.

Way off topic but 600 large would be $600,000. Thousands are still considered "large". Our lowly dollar is decidely small these days.

The new Rolls Royce has that feature for the center caps and it is fer sure "pimp". If its good enough for your Roller it should be good enough for your Porsche.

Not sure about the caps myself, but Ralph (Boothe) is a very conscentious individual who makes damn fine wheel spacers and hardware. A pleasure to deal with.

Yep, saw the RR ones in action outside LAX, looked cool!

Also noticed that some TAXIs now have complete hub caps with advertising on them that do the same thing

Not quite what you'd want on your Porsche.

I thought the words "pimpin" and "cool" were one in the same? You kids today with your slang, I just can't keep up.

Anyway, I'm not sure I'd accept the wheel caps for free; I'd even decline the gold exhaust tips.

I think that Washington DC got it correct with the gold tip analogy. This is pimping for sure though. I can not, in my farthest dream imagine this as a factory option. Can you imagine what Professor Porsche (either one) would have thought?

Not that we cant customize our cars and I do believe that more people will do this in the future, but I will stick to the conservative approach that the factory has always upheld. Just my .02 cents.

Sorry, I don't run with that crowd. If you are the type that enjoys trolling for stares you will probably love these. I'm VERY old school with my customizing and like upgrades that will functionally improve the vehicle. I've been driving 40 years and have seen a lot of short lived trendy fads come and go. It takes a pretty substantial product to impress me. (In the business)

I tend to agree... and as for pimpin'. Call me old school, but pimpin' has an element of tackiness that I don't think deserves to be on an elegant car such as a Porsche.

If you want to tacky up your car, go and buy a Camero, or a Dodge Charger.

Any additions to a Porsche should be in keeping with the design of the car - elegant, simple and refined.... otherwise, you're no better than a high schooler pimpin' their rides.

First Ralph developed that product before RR and Bentley. I am not sure if he is making them anymore though. Every single one of his products is made to perfection. Ralph is a Porsche enthusiast and all around great guy to know. I highly recommend all of his products!

Its like spinners for center caps.

Personally, I won't put them on my car for sure. I don't see the purpose of this product. Thanks for the link though.

Wellardmac

Exactly.... and living near Philly we tend to get plenty of that tacky 'urban' junk on cars.
