Colored Crest Center Caps for Turbo Wheels
My Turbo wheels have the monochrome/black crest center caps and I am looking for the color crested centers to match the polished Turbo wheel. I am able to find plenty of colored crested center caps that will match silver painted wheels but none so far for the polished turbos. Anyone have a solution for this ? Thanks

I think that I will just by some Testor's model paint and do my own for 50 cents. How hard can it be??? It is a shame porsche wants 200 bucks for "colored crests". My salesman tells me that it is a "must have" option. I think a limited slip diff is more important!

If you do paint your own make sure and seal it later with a clear coat or your first aggressive wash job will trash your efforts.

Damon, that is a sweet deal, too bad they were for silver painted wheels not the Turbo polished wheels. Nice guy at Wheel Enhancement has polished factory metal center caps for a turbo. $280 plus shipping seems kinda steep especially since no clear coat. Here's a pic for anyone interested.

Just buy the ebay caps and wrap the silver part in aluminum foil! That would look good! 
Just kidding!
I guess on this one you gotta pay to play.

Aaron at Suncoast sent me these pics. The first one are the Silver Caps which as you can see, do not match very well but for $ 170 not bad to me. The 2nd one is almost a perfect match, $ 400.
