Default disappointed with suncoast, usa

i had also decided to obtain the red tail lights for the 997 range. i was led to suncoast, USA.

they also had the centre caps, and i decided to ask "before i order these two items from you, can you assure me that the centre caps will fit an OEM 997 Turbo wheels?"

after 2 days i repeated my email. so now it is 6 days after the second email with no replies.

i also run an internet shop and always reply within 1 hour to one day.

cannot understand why these sites bother to have "contact us" fields. it justs wastes my time.

in the main, sites respond but i have had numerous non-responses.
ok, that's off my chest.

The center caps for the 997 Turbo are 60mm - the same as used in all 997 Porsche wheels - GT3, GT3RS, Turbo, Targa, C2, C4.

thanks brennan,
so all 997's are 60mm, and 996's are 50mm or thereabouts ?

can we all take this "60mm centre caps on all OEM 997 wheels" as THE RULE?

thank you

Just call suncoast. Its easier to deal with them that way. And ask for a PCA discount.

Not 100% sure on the 996 wheels but I think they are 60mm too.

The booklet says one can use www.porsche.com/shop to find stickers too, but I guess this last source may not have the stickers included....don't know, never ordered them thru the web site.

Yes they are, I have the oem 996TT center caps with the turbo logo on my stock 997TT wheels that I use for the track, they fit fine.

All the boxster/cayman/996/997 factory wheels should used the same centercap. The Cayenne may use a different size

I received them today, they fit perfect. They are Porsche parts and are exactly the same as the colored caps that came with my 997 Carrera.

I think he was ordering from Carnewal so try carnewal.com

Also, if you don't want to order from Belgium, try Suncoast Porsche ( http://e-partssales.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?) or sunsetimports.com or bumperplugs.com
