while on this subject, is it possible to remove them without removing the wheel? three of mine fit snug, as the fourth, front right, is loose. I see two holes on them but not sure if I can pull them off using the holes. Any idea why it could be loose? missing an o-ring or something?? :iono:

A quick tip: you can make yourself a center cap removal tool out of a wire clothing hanger. Using those two holes, the center cap is easily removed without removing the wheel.

I used two small allen wrenches, inserting the short sides into the caps and pulling. Popped right off. I ordered the black and silver to replace the colored crests on my car from Sunset Porsche in Oregon, and according to them there are a few different types of center caps. Sizes, colors, etc.

Actually,
I am not sure that one size fits all is the complete story.
If you have the XRR wheels, the caps are at a minimum a different color (GT silver). So, caps from other wheels, while they might fit, don't match.

Yeah but "fit" has an expandable context especially in the consumer world, and once the color variation becomes apparent one (consumer) might redefine "fit'.
Now, in the strictest sense the correct (narrow) answer may be useless.
