Hi guys I have been refurbing a set of 3 piece splits with another club member and all I need to finish them off are some metal embosed center caps, commonly found on tele dials. Does anyone have a set of these for sale, and if so how much. Cheers Attachment: avatar wheel2.jpg Attachment: avatar wheel3.jpg

I have a set which maybe available in the next week or so. They came with my 944 turbo teledials and are in need of paint. They are metal and have a raised Porsche crest on them. I'm looking for colour crested plastic caps at a reasonable price - do you have anything like this? |

Hi Rav The ones I am looking for have the crest set back into the center cap. This is so I can colour code the crest to the center of the wheel and mirror polish the rest of the cap. As for your plastic caps I am unable to help. If anything should crop up Ill be sure to let you know. Cheers mate. |

@ t3rra - Cheers mate, but they will have to be metal ones so that I can polish them up. Thanks for the offer though. @ frenchy - They sound like just the ticket. How much would you be looking to get for them. |

So, was it just a case off painting with a rattle can? No curbing in need repairs. Good job |

Yeah they have been painted with Halfords finest in Ford Solar gold. At least two of the wheels had bad curbing, Roy took care of this and did a pretty damn good job too. I dont have any pics of the curb damage to show just how bad they were. |
