The question is what are you running right now? I must admit I did the PS2s also, just they really aren't that good..quiet yes, but performance wise they suck! Sport Cups way better than PS2s...when they warm up.

Statman - those wheels look great!

What kind of center caps are they sending? The reason I ask is because when I was at Eric's (BumperPlugs) office about 6 months ago, he showed me some Porsche center caps they had painted black and were getting ready to ship to a customer. They were really SWEET looking. As soon as I saw your wheels, I thought of those caps. They would look AWESOME on your wheels!

Thanks Tim, I'm just getting the "stock" OZ racing..polished lip black lettering. I would love to get black with silver crest, but can't find anywhere. Also looked at Boothe, but sizes are off.

ROss - I think the caps I sawe had the colored crest. Eric may be able to get some Silver Crest caps. You might want to give him a call (704) 841-0911, to discuss this. Make sure you let him know the diameter size required to fit the OZ wheels.

I think the OZ caps look a lot better. They have a carbon fiber cap with silver lettering available.

It's like how many more Porsche logos do you want on your 911?

Funny, I have the Porsche crest stem caps, silver hood crest, silver steering wheel, and crests in the seats...that makes 8. I think I'll check out the OZ ones first. The CF caps are really cheap and smaller OD than the standard ones.

The OZ caps cost just as much as any BBS center cap. I actually had the black OZs and got the CF caps since from Tire Rack they come with silver ones with black lettering.

And it looks like you powdercoated your centers to change the look of the stock centers which are not glossy.
