If that is what was meant, then the sinple answer is no. However, technically they can be swapped, but they would have to be siliconed in place.

The center caps snap out pretty easily if you can tap them from the back.

I removed my wheels to pop out the center caps. Then I just popped in some RENNTech center caps. I think they are a standard size.

They snap in with some effort and are very tight. A metal ring holds the tabs in place.

Boothe is the answer. No spin centers w/crest. Silver. Goes well with Atlas Grey Metallic.

Depends on the wheel style. The AF-502 for a Porsche will not accept any other center cap without modifications. I have not checked all the other styles, but I know that one for certain.

Ralph Boothe center caps screw into place and will fit other diameter holes. I am sure that you could get a set and if it didn't work he would take them back.
