Those are no-no plastics! So of course, $12,986 for the set (4x). But that is the price for non-members only. I was thinking of giving a 99% OFF discount excluding shipping. Shipping is kinda cheap for that weight... something like $18~20 max (that's using the normal priority air-mail 7-10days with tracking number).

Nice little wheel finishing touch, huge hit here with the pcars guys. Nothing fancy other than their perfect surface finishes and cool looking script. They do look expansive (in real life I mean)

Van, buddy, been a while. Hope all is well with you my friend. Regularly see your Boxster's pic here on my pc.... the pic with the light bouncing the front-end (petrol station pic). One of my fav. I'll get back to you on the blue when ready to anodize. Reason for that is I have two types of blue, the one everybody is familiar with (CGT's light blue) and the 'navy' tone blue. Think the latest will work best with your Box but who knows, you might prefer that light cgt blue insted. I'm including a pic of those intalled on a black wheel below so you can see what I mean. If you are undecided let me know and I'll trow in a rendering with your boxster color, silver wheels and navy blue caps.

Count you in Thx man. Silver is not available but I'm guessing you meant the gun metal tone from that other pic. If you desperately need them silver (as in silver wheel color) then they need 'painting' and that removes all of that fancy anodized effect (no reflections, etc). I know I did had a few kits professionally painted last year by the bodyshop. Worked but I wasn't entirely impressed. That gun metal anodized is similar (if not exactly the same) as the center lock you see on those gt3 and newer models. Leave that to you mate

Hah good taste, I'll certainly arrange something special for you Dwight. I'll be in touch. Please remind me... your Boxster is black colour with silver wheels right? I want to get a visual done for you to see what this would look like with the red vivo and red caps. Might end up to look quite special (I think I want to see this more than you do is possibly what's happening now loll).

Anyhow, just trowing some/same visuals from the other page just so nobody misses those. Gone all art-gaga can you guys tell

I would hate to have those little bad boyz to loose the center stage. I'm holding myself to upload those in black, red, blue anodized colors

ps: all of these are public domain (except my car lol!) so feel free to use any of these visuals I post for photoshop purposes. Just click on them to dwload the high res version. They are all raw png and uploaded full hd (1920x)

Hey Fred have you ever tried those wheel lug covers? I see a lot of eBay might be worth trying out with the center cap
