    Center Caps - any experts?

    Is there anything particularly interesting about these center caps? Never seen this color scheme.

    Folks use to paint them all the time, also polished, just a way to personalize your car.

    The casting dipple (in the center) on the backside is a tell tale sign that they are original Porsche wheel caps and not aftermarket ones.

    Im with Gled49, those look as if they were painted by someone with not much experience.

    I agree, we painted hundreds of them for dealers and catalogues.They were not a factory option...Of course they looked much better when they were new....
