An unsolicited tip. Point the bottom of the crest towards the schrader valve.

Makes it quicker to pick up the stem location during competition and concours judges will notice/deduct for this oversight.

White socks in the top drawer and colored socks in bottom.

thought folks would get a kick out of the packaging, says made in italy, comes from china and the label is entertaining to say the least.

Coincidentally I fitted 4 new caps yesterday to my freshly refurbished wheels.
Bought them from a company based in China called Rhino Tuning and cost $31 including shipping to the UK. They accept PayPal so no need to worry about credit card details.

They arrived amazingly quickly bearing in mind they came half way round the world.
They're not perfect but look brilliant once on the car.
There's no way I'm paying Porsche prices for 4 pieces of plastic!

I bought them off ebay, they say made in italy on the back, but im not sure about that. I thought I remembered they were 25 bucks, but they were 50!

the sellers name is contaamcparts and they shipped them right out, 4 days from payment to delivery, even though they said 2 weeks
