Crest Wheel Center Caps: OEM or Ebay "Others"
The center wheel caps for my 2002 are starting to show their age/wear and I'd like to replace them.
Two options: the OEMs at $175-200 or the non-OEM eBay at a fraction of the price.
No issues paying for quality (if painted plastic can be called quality), but wondering if anyone has purchased the eBay variety and can attest to the quality or lack thereof. Thanks.

I purchased a set of non-OEM Fleabay knock offs some years ago. Probably worth what I paid, but certainly not OEM quality. Fitment was marginal, I had to do some tweaking to get them to fit well without scratching the inside of the hub.
Color lasted only about 1 year, then serious fading set in.
I would not recommend them.

Got OEM set for Xmas. They are nice, and the newer version for the 997 has larger creates that really pop. My wife got our PCA discount and had a dealer coupon so the price was reasonable.
