Wheel Center caps
 

Stupid expensive on e_bay right now. Anyone got a current source? Doesn't have to be OEM but don't want a sticker either.....

Go to Craigslist/Orange County, CA. In the search bar type "Boxster". You'll find the guy in Huntington Beach selling for $50 a set. OEM? No... but I've bought 3-4 sets from him. Not because they fail... but just to have spares on hand.

:cheers:

I bought a set off eBay about a year and a half ago and they were CHEAP....only about $10 for 4 w/free shipping. Not OEM but they look great and have held up nicely. Tons to scroll through.....keep looking.

I just queried eBay. Please... provide the link to any of those ~$10 sets. My "Porsche Boxster Center Caps" or "Porsche Boxster Wheel Caps" queries revealed nothing, none, zero, close to ~$10.

The CL caps arrived in OEM packaging, each individually sealed (I know they're not OEM). Even the center crests had that protective film. 2 years later and my caps look brand new.

Looking forward to the results you produce.

Thanks!

Still don't see a $10 per set. Perhaps a link?

Not to pile on, but I didn't see any $10 sets either. The $50 CL set looks like the best deal.

WOW!....things have changed since I bought my set. My appologies to not have the update on their costs. Maybe I should "lock" mine on with glue!...lol.

But I did see these:
Check these out.... $9.99

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.

I just ordered 4 from ailexpress.. my total was 10.82 with shipping etc...

says shipping around 11/12.. will report back with what they look like.

For sure!

Well at least I know I'm crazy. I appreciate the help. I'd see these caps all over ebay when I had no use for them. No I need a set, no joy!

I've seen the Huntington Beach CL crests advertised on local CL but the ad was so old I was reluctant to contact the buyer. I'll probably go with them.

This is kind of like looking for 'Porsche' stickers for calipers...used to be pages of them but no so much anymore.

sorry i see u found them on cl. What about D.C. automotive?

Ordered from the CL guy last night but actually ordered from him on 'Offer Up" . On Offer up, the caps are $43 shipped.

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?

Try $40 plus $3, not thirty.
