Hmmmm, I got mine there 3-4 months ago. Yes, I don't see them on the site any longer. I bought "Gauge Bezels (Alloy Set) Set of 5 (996 and Boxster)." Their part # 911680AB996. Maybe give them a call or send an email?

Found these on Vertex. Like I said, pricey. But I like 'em. Just stick on with (silicone) adhesive. Use silicon, because, if you change your mind, it'll just peel right off - leaving no gluey gunk or damage.

Obviously no need for the two small rings on our cars, so those are extra. Hey, still I've got them. Maybe I should post FS on a 996 forum for $$$$$$$$$?!?!

I seem to remember purchasing mine from Eckler's Automation. I checked their sight this morning and found the following:
