I have 8 spoke Empi style wheels with the metal EMPI wheel caps ( 3 allen screw type) I would like a Porcshe crest cap. I have looked everywhere on the net with no luck. Anyone know if they are even made? Do not want the plastic kind you see that all the time that stick out. I like the flat type design. 2 3/4 wheel opening. I might even settle for the stick on emblem? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . But not what I want. I saw a set on a green car in a recent show us your cars and they look like just what I want.
Happy what ever you celebrate. Michael $20.00 reward info on for metal type or plastic (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) (can I do this?) |

I have the black plastic ones on my empi's. They didn't come with any type of insert or logo. I just smoothed out the center so it was flat, then printed the club badge onto black vinyl...
(before anyone asks, no, I can't do anything like that for anyone. Personal use only... so THERE!) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Look on ebay. If you do a search for "porsche center emblem"
You'll see various center cap emblems that you can stick on your existing caps. Different vendors have slightly different colors and sizes. The empi caps that I've seen have a slight indented area for these types of stick on emblems. I've got the black plastic caps with the porsche logo emblems and they look pretty decent. The size of mine is about 1.75" or 44mm. They'll probably work on the caps you have. Unfortunately over the past 20 years the price for these stick on emblems has gone up from about $1.00 each to about $6.00 each. ($25/set). I attached a picture of mine. (It looks better in person than in the picture.) --- bill |
