The first set is not for a 986 (our caps are 76mm, IIRC, those are way too small), and the second set is actually $70 with shipping.

They can still be found on aliexpress, though they can’t show the crest or use the name “Porsche” in the ads, so hard to say what the quality will be, but I’ve had excellent luck.
The search terms used for this screen shot were “Porsche wheel cap”:

Should have gone for these when I was trying to save a few bucks rather than buying the CL guy ones.

Here's my stash...

The first 2 rows are the caps from CL, and I have two sets installed upon my 2 sets of wheels. These are my spares.

The second 2 rows are OEM. At one point I removed one emblem... ascertaining they are metal.

The last row was my first wheel cqap purchase thinking I could install 3-D stickers. Didn't like them, although the color works for me.

Those CL caps... on eBay someone is asking $89 for the set.

A new set of OEM caps, eBay... $299.

Used OEM, on eBay, are $30 each, and look real used.

40 dollars AND 30 bucks shipping; no deal. I bought a 25 dollar set a couple of months ago...decent. they aren't exact, they aren't OEM but really look much better then the 20YO set I had. If you are still looking, I posted earlier on this, so search for that post and perhaps I noted source in this post?
