Wheel Cap Crests
#1

Some how 2 of my wheel cap porsche crests have fallen off. Does anyone know if the crests are sold separately or caps need to be replaced, and where to purchase?

Thanks

I've looked for replacement crests but never had any luck. Genuine center caps are pricey, but there are cheap knockoffs on eBay, ali express, etc.

The same thing happened on my 993 wheels. I managed to find some replacements on eBay that fit well, and I glued them on with construction adhesive. Problem solved. This was years ago, but I bet there are still some out there that will fit. I recall they were not sold as wheel cap crests, but the dimensions were right and they worked. The colors were slightly different so I replaced all 4 so they looked consistent.

Just wanted to post this photo :  my center caps are now over 27 years old and with nearly 100,000 miles on them, as well as hundreds upon hundreds of car washes .   I don’t know if they’re still available , but they were a limited aftermarket edition of a cloisonné finish cap, secured with inside pressure screws so they can’t be removed without the wheel coming off , and even then you need special tools to twist the screws .   IIRC, they were either $ 800 for the set , or maybe more , but if they still look brand new after all these years and miles , I think it was worth it ..
