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.
