We can make them any color you like, Doc, but I'd stick with the polished.

Here's a set we just completed, tri color C4S caps:

Eric, I asked you about painting one (like the silver one in this post), and you said it could not be done. Has something changed?

These silver crests looks loads better than the standard plain plastic discs. Where did you order the silver ones?? I checked with Performance Products,,,they have the "colored crests," but do not have the silver ones you show. thanks

Going to buck the trend here. An all black car needs some offsetting element of color that "pops". Otherwise, the black theme has no counterpoint to contrast and accentuate the "blackness" of the balance. Colored crests for sure!

these are the polished silver ones that come standard on the turbo wheels.
only the 997 turbo wheels are polished so you will not find these as an option on any others.
the 996 40th anny also had some kind of special polished finished too...

The best crest for your car/color will always be the one you don't have.
