Hi Rhys
ive not got a link but yes they are available. I got a set of 4 cheap copy ones for my Cayman from ebay £9.40 for 4
they are obviously cheap copies but still look really good, only problem I've found out this weekend is they don't like getting too wet, they have a very thin plastic covering on them which is now starting to peel after just one wash
I thought £10 nothing ventured, nothing gained but I can see me replacing them in the near future with original ones
hope this helps cheers steve

You should have paid the extra £3.60 Stephen my centres are still good 2 years on []

Hi Tony
thats obviously where I went wrong- trying to save the £3.60 !!
Are these ok after they become wet ?
cheers for the eBay link

They seem waterproof. I did lacquer mine before fitting, may be this is the key.

Without stating the obvious, you have actually removed the clear film that covers the badge?

The 'cheap' eBay / Amazon wheel centre caps all come with a clear film cover that is stuck to the badge. When this is removed the centres aren't too bad in terms of quality. For the price of them you can change them every year if they start to deteriorate & still be quids in from the ridiculous price of genuine caps from the OPC.

Hi Boxstercol
Yes mate " Thanks for stating the obvious"
i honestly did not realise , just took out of the packet & popped on
It was only when they got wet the film lifted. Anyway, this week peeled film off & thought "great- these really do look good, for the price"
felt bit of a muppet for not realising earlier, but cheers anyway

Just posted a set of Genuine Porsche 996 C4S wheel centres in good condition if anyone is still looking for some? Here is the link: http://r.ebay.com/yAB8Y3

Hi steve,

would you sell these outside ebay for £60.

regards

Hi Rhys,
Thanks for the offer but as I already have two eBay bids on them and a lot of interest shown, I think that I will just let the auction run its course unless someone comes up with the £80 buy-it-now price.
Regards,
Steve
