Default "Porsche" Rim Script Stickers?

Anyone ever seen these for sale? My car came with them and one has a few imperfections. Would like to replace, as I dig the look, but I'm having trouble finding anything other than the "Rim Trim Strips" that run the full circumference of the rim. The strips have the Porsche script embedded, but they don't seem to come in RS Orange. Wondering if the ones on mine were CXX or just someone getting clever with aftermarket stickers?

Not an OEM Porsche option as far as I know. Link below may be your best bet. Measure your current ones and order up the correct size. Or, custom print. But my guess is Porsche doesn't want people using their font and logo for profit, so it may be hard to find them online.

I like the smaller size, too. But interesting that Suncoast has that option. The full stripe is too much for my tastes. Will definitely check with the eBay guy. I found RS side emblem reproductions for my RSA on eBay as well and snagged several for future use.

Good finds. I searched eBay and didn’t come up with those.

With the Suncoast link, I’m wondering if they’re claiming that’s an OEM part. It says special order required which makes me think either they print them one off or they are ordering them from Porsche. Given they’re a dealer I wouldn’t think they’d be selling parts that have the Porsche logo that aren’t authentic Porsche parts, even though I know they sell aftermarket parts.

At some point, someone told me the stickers on mine were an OE / OEM thing, so that’s why I had that in my head. Agree it’s interesting for Suncoast to sell something using an actual Porsche TM without it being direct from Porsche or appropriately licensed.

I've seen too many Porsche rim scripts that I think they have to be an OEM thing.

On another note, since you're working on your wheels, gotta get them a set of these in gold.

Always happy to admit I'm wrong, especially when it comes to a part actually being Genuine Porsche.

I'm not sure what the difference is between the Porsche one and the GT3 one. Maybe it is just that, one says "Porsche" and one says "GT3"?

Is that from Suncoast or somewhere else?

Not Suncoast, from my local dealer:
https://www.onlineporscheparts.com/s...tr=99704465000

But if you type 99704465000 into Suncoast you can see it's the right part. Then the code at the end is dependent on which color you want, so my guess is they'd all be the same and say "Porsche".

Yeah, got it. I ordered one from Gaudin. I'll report back on it.

I think both are going to say "Porsche" and that the GT graphic set might be shaped differently to make allowance for the petals that flow onto the rims edge. Skinnier line and smaller script. 🤷🏽‍♂️
