I recently picked up the $20 eBay set - very impressed, looks like OE quality to me (except without the Porsche packaging, despite one of the pictures showing the Porsche box, which is a bit misleading).

They do have the "P" logo and part numbers on the back, also.

The concave dish sets in the 986 wheel a bit more recessed than the original style 986 center caps, but color matches and still very happy.

I did trim a small bit of plastic flash around the edges of the center caps, but it wouldn't surprise me if this is also on genuine Porsche caps. (I think I've spotted it on other Porsches before.)

The "free" valve stem caps that are also included with the $20 eBay set, however, are not even close to genuine Porsche. (Those are what you'd consider a "China special".)
