hi 6speeders
any one know where i can purchase center wheel caps with the crest emblem on painted "white" background? (besides dealer) ebay had some
but on silver background only. i have deviated white OEM turbo wheels. thanx

 

why not just take them to a body shop to be sprayed and match the wheels. I just did a set in matte black and matched the centers

 

I think Eric may be able to help you at bumperplugs.com

He can pretty much paint anything to OEM specs...

 

i would but i also want the painted emblem crest. my oem crest on the center cap is the "black" outline.

 

Email me anytime.....we should be able to help you.

thats not an issue, any bodyshop which does high end work should easily be able to handle that

 

Ralph Booth design might be able to help. http://www.boothedesign.com/centercaps.html

 

As everyone else has said, you have two choices. You can get the Boothe Design center caps or have the OEM colored crest caps painted.

The Boothe Design caps are aluminum and have a smaller crest. I think it is actually the steering wheel crest so you should be able to get the crest in silver or colored. The Boothe center caps mount from the back side of the wheel, so the wheels must be off the car to change the caps. These can be powder-coated or painted.

The OEM center caps have a larger cap and are made out of plastic. They just snap onto the wheel and have two little holes to allow for easy removal while mounted. These can be painted but not powder-coated.

Here some photos:

Suncoast sells the OEM colored crest caps:
Center Caps

My silver colored crest caps (shown in the last two photos) are brand new and if you want them, I will sell them for $120 shipped.

Eric the Plug Guy does excellent work and can paint anything you want perfectly. If you are willing to accept a little lower quality of work, a local body shop could do the work.

 

The only caveat is the newer cap with the 'engraved' black outline crest cannot be painted to leave the crest like it is. We've done a few of these, and it's not possible due to the depth of the cutting for the outline of crest.

 

If you want it perfect - call Eric.

 

hi, do you have OEM silver with the colored crest for sale and just paint the background "carrera white"? i want the best; i want it look OEM can you PM price quote for a set of 4 painted caps. thanx. hope we can do
business. i have had it with the dealer and do not want to give them any
more $$! also please advise on self install if they just snap in place (special tool needed?)

 

Yes, we can do that.

PM sent.
