Question Which these two caps ????

I am not sure if my 986 is better with original center cap (cap1) or 987, cayenne cap (cap2)

Which do you prefer?


CAP1



CAP2

Personally, I prefer the subtlety of the Boxster. Cap 1

you need a picture where you can see the whole car.
You know perspective and all..

Are the Cayenne caps plastic (like the Boxster colored centers) or metal?

I like both but the Cayenne caps may be too large when seen in proportion to the whole car.

Thumbs up One

Cap one. But I've been playing with the idea of changing to the silver and black cap. #2 Looks disproportionate.

I think you should replace the rusty lug nut first.

Neither cap is pointed to the valve stem. Also your locking wheel bolt is not in the correct location, and looks like it has rust.

Points off.

When the car arrives from the manufacturer, does the bottom of the Porsche crest on each wheel cap "point" to the tire valve?

Or is that something that hard-core afficionados have invented. (You know, like the screw head slots on light switch and wall socket face plates are supposed to be at 6/12 vertical.)
