Default Solid Black Wheel caps?

Does anyone make a solid black wheel center cap. Logo can be embossed or etched but all black for a 2018 GTS?

I have 1 more set of non-genuine, black caps with a colored crest available in the Marketplace.

Had 2 different types available and why one of the dimension pics shows a black and silver one. If interested, make sure the cap dimensions on the Macan wheels are the same as the bolt pattern on the Macan (5x112) is different than every other 5 bolt Porsche in history (5x130). The Macan uses an Audi pattern.

I also have a similar set from Porsche in black if you need them. I bought them because I was planning on painting my silver wheels, but found a stress crack in one of the rear wheels. Lemme.

I am looking for black on black. The car has the factory 20” rs stock wheels with the black caps and gold crests.

Got it. eBay has been my source for caps for the last 20 years. I wouldn't recommend the hubcap guy.

looked but didn't find any there. Thinking about seeing if they can be vinyl wrapped in satin black?

putting on a few more coats of clear but not coming out badly. Bought a set of oem solve caps on ebay. Roughed them up with some fine steel wool and then started with some satin black paint. Using a matte clear. Looks like a pretty good match for the stock RS 20" wheels. (my 964 in the background)

I am having regrets on my BBS purchase. They are great wheels and I bought before the price hikes but when I found a crack in the stock "S" wheels my plans to paint them went out the window as the wheel refinisher wouldn't touch them (liability.) I bought a set of TSW Nord black with bronze finished face strictly for my snow wheels but decided I like the look of the TSW better than the BBS summer set. We shall see if I come up with enough cash to swap the two sets of tires around... Then I can start searching for a Porsche cap to replace whichever set ends up being "summer wheels."

So finished up my wheel caps and got them on the car. Think they came out really well. Changing out the hood crest


to an all black one as well.

Looks fantastic. Wish I had gone that route. Friend with GTS was trying to talk me into the black RS Spyders like he was running but I had to be different...
