Ralph T. Boothe center caps - experiences?
Hi Guys,
I'm doing a little pre-purchase research on center caps. I saw the OEM ones, look nice but made from plastic I understand. Also so the ones from Ralph T. Boothe but haven't seen them in real life. Pics on his site look nice though.
Does anyone have the ones from Boothe on a 997? If so, which ones (small crest, bigger crest, regular or no-turn)? Do you like the look? How are they holding up over time?
Thank you.

I've heard nothing but good things about Booth's center caps. A lot of guys on 6speed use them, gotta have that bling! No personal experience though, I like my Carrera 4s.

I bought lug nuts from him for my 993 about 5 years ago. He is local in SoCal so I went to his house. After an hour of looking at each other's Porsche's and talking cars, he and his wife invited me and my wife in for a cool drink before we headed home. So, yeah I'd say he is a good guy and I would not hesitate to do business with him. All his stuff looked to be of high quality at the time. Nice 993 turbo at the time, too.......

I gotta say that before owning a Porsche I never knew that there was so much concern for center caps on rims.

At $400 for four...it was never a concern to me. They look nice...
Heck, just go for it and spend $600 on the no turn technology....maybe add the little dog with the bobbing head on the dash too and a pair of "porsche dice" on the rearview mirror.

where can I get the Porsche dice? Can I get them in leather matching my interior? Is there a GT3 version in alcantara? Or an RS version in alcantara with ayellow sripe in the center?
Yes, it is ridiculous. Than again, a lot of topics are.
The thought occured to me when I saw the original plastic caps run 200 bucks. For 160 more, Boothe seems to make sense.
