Where does one get black/silver Porsche center caps?
Wheel Dynamics did mine. I sent them my OEM caps and wheels and they painted them semi-gloss black which is the same as satin black.

Congrats on your twins! Mine are now 6 and love riding in the 996. Enjoy.

Not a fan of all black wheels on a black car, but yours look great. Love the silver lip!

Thx guys...

$500 cash to have them refinished, plus $68 for remounting/balancing, plus ~$80 for the center caps, plus $20 for the lug caps.

I'm normally not a fan of black wheels. Maybe because most cars you see them on are so overdone in other areas.

You kept it tasteful and it looks great. Nice job.
