who makes that stuff ? Aren't those things trademarked? You guys are so brave-I'm the world's biggest skeptic and would assume they'd disintegrate soon after I installed them and would have no recourse to get my money back. Hell, it's tough enough to get a refund with big, KNOWN companies, let alone these never-heard-ofs. I've come to believe, at 48 yrs. that Porsche (or Toyota ) makes the highest quality parts for my Porsche and that they'll LAST the longest ( with a few exceptions of course- LN anyone?) and give me the best value in the end. After all, it's quality in design and execution that makes the Boxster what it is - isn't it? Not knocking anyone, just questioning out loud...

I used to think that too until I got new tires for my 2007 Toyota Tundra last fall. I took the truck to Costco and when they removed the center caps, all four disintegrated. They paid for the replacements to the tune of $160.

Bmod, the new caps look great!
