    Porsche Colour Wheel Caps on Rims - A simple option?

    I just ordered my standard 987s with the standard 18" wheels but I believe that the wheels come with monochrome porsche logo instead of the colour crest. I see pictures posted by a few including Louis showing rims with Porsche coloured crest. Now my dealer told me that it was an option to get with spraying the rims the same colour as the body but apparently, I noice many rims with the coloured crest with rims in original alloy colours. My car is arctic silver with black top and there is no point spray painting the rims as an option. Is that a small option you can get simply by ordering coloured crest? I think it looks better.

    newbox, did you get that as an option on your 19s?

    Re: Porsche Colour Wheel Caps on Rims - A simple option?

    I have the colored crests on my 19s. didnt get them from factory but ordered them after as I thought it looked much better. Pretty cheap as well, Pounds25 I think.


    Cheers

    Re: Porsche Colour Wheel Caps on Rims - A simple option?

    Got it on mine - 19 Carrera S's. It's the must have option - obviously adds another 10bhp!!

    Somehow the car doesn't look finished without them IMHO.

    Re: Porsche Colour Wheel Caps on Rims - A simple option?

    Its a HK$1500 option according to the Porsche configurator for Hong Kong so there's no reason you can't get it.

    Rich J - would be interested to know where you got it for Pounds25. Its over a Pounds100 from Porsche GB. Presumably it is an aftermarket one?

    Re: Porsche Colour Wheel Caps on Rims - A simple option?

    Pounds120 as an after market option from dealer.

    Really!!!! I had memories of mine being Pounds25 and they are official from the dealer... Perhaps thats the cold messing with my mind or more likely my subconscience finding a way to deal with the fact that I was charged Pounds120 for 4 plastic circles!!!!

    Sorry guys!

    Re: Porsche Colour Wheel Caps on Rims - A simple option?

    Yes thanks internat8. I saw it on the option list for 1500 HKD so with tax = 3000 HKD = 400 USD. Worth it or not? Don't know... some cars have it on the pix and some don't but wondering how durable they are as I have seen some nasty discolouration on a few older porsches with coloured crest? Well but the monochrome ones also wear off anyway.

    Re: Porsche Colour Wheel Caps on Rims - A simple option?

    The wheel doesn't look the same in monochrome IMO...see pic of my wheel...

    Re: Porsche Colour Wheel Caps on Rims - A simple option?

    ptcja - definitely not worth it . I would wait till you or a friend travels abroad for example to Dubai where they are 530 dhs or thereabouts which works out to about Pounds90 or HKD 1150. Much cheaper than USD400. You do have to be prepared that they may get stolen from time to time - so they may not stay on long enough for them to be discoloured. But a porsche is a porsche its nice to have the colour crests

    Re: Porsche Colour Wheel Caps on Rims - A simple option?

    not that easy to nick........took me while to get my old mono ones off!

    Re: Porsche Colour Wheel Caps on Rims - A simple option?

    aj, are those 19" carrera style on your 987s? The coloured ones look real nice and it is 3D and engraved plaque?

    Re: Porsche Colour Wheel Caps on Rims - A simple option?

    internat8, you mean you can simply purchase them and put them on? How is that done? Any inputs? I am sending an email to my sales professional meanwhile.

    Re: Porsche Colour Wheel Caps on Rims - A simple option?

    Ptcja, I replied to your message, check your inbox. I wanted to order the coloured crests when I ordered my car, but my salesman said that I could order it after from the parts department and that he would give me his employee price; that way, I have both sets (ie, monochrome that comes with the car and the coloured ones) and it costs about the same. I really do like them much better than the monochrome; they add a lot to the look of the wheels but it is a little pricey; hey, nothing is cheap on porsches

    Re: Porsche Colour Wheel Caps on Rims - A simple option?

    you could have put them on straight?

    Yes those are Carrera classics, and I think they totally complete the look of the car. Beautifully finished (not to mention easy to clean) - it does have a 3D/plaque effect as you say

    Re: Porsche Colour Wheel Caps on Rims - A simple option?

    So it's a snap on deal? It is 3000 in HKD. I can get it aftermarket.
