Default Oh boy... Wheel Caps

Greetings!

This is a fun one...

What are folks doing for replacement wheel caps these days?

For me, I ended up getting a new one from the local Porsche dealer. Had to bite the bullet.

There were a few threads where there was a fellow based in I think the Greater Los Angeles area who was selling replicas on the cheap on I think it was Craigslist, but I never found the ad or heard about the quality. I've avoided the eBay or AliExpress ones knowing they aren't up to original quality, but to be fair, you get what you pay for.

Tell you what I'm not doing: Paying retail or dealer prices. Criminal.

That LA/OC guy... $49... I've bpught about 3... 4 sets... just to have on hand (two sets of wheels). There have been fellas on the forums buying the set for as little as $15.

the metal center caps from the 15x6 phone dials on my 924 fit my Boxster wheels. So, sandblast, paint, and - look great!
get some of those from ebay and repaint to match
