Does anyone know a source or a direction to search for all silver center caps that work with Fuchs RSR style wheels. I am trying to locate a set that is all silver with the embedded logo (no color on Porsche logo) for my 16x8 and 16x9 Fuchs?

I bought some a while back - the early anodized style that you describe do match well - anyone with OE parts should have them i.e., Stoddard or Suncoast etc.

They don't make them so you might as we'll sell off those wheels real cheep. And being a nice guy, I'll take them off your hands.
I'd try the dealer.

Can't you get a set from Harvey Weidman?

Have you tried entering the words, "Fuchs center caps for sale" in an internet search engine? They're not uncommon. Visit a Porsche swap meet. Lots of them.
If the factory finish isn't close enough, replicate the RSR finish by glass bead blasting at low pressure (use a wheel as a sample), then finish with a flat clear finish.

RSR wheels didn't use centercaps.

I have 6 of the early ones. My question is what are they worth?

they were a 'sporting' wheel and didn't use a center cap. That said, I wanted the option and so I had Harvey Weidman make me a set.

Get a set of center caps for your wheel and bead blast them. You will then have the RSR look.

I followed this thread and used Krylon 1403 dull aluminum on my center caps. I have both Braid RSR finish wheels and a set done by Al Reed and the match is near perfect.
