HRE Center caps??

Just got my new P40 black wheels today and not really thrilled about the plastic center cap. Anyone found a black cap option? Was hoping to something in metal as well. cheers,

An OEM option or HRE option? If OEM, check out the following link to Wheel Enhancement, a sponsor of this site.

Hope this helps!

Yeah, the shiny/chrome plastic center caps that came with my P40's didn't thrill me either (especially since my wheels were in the brushed finish). I went back with my Porsche OEM center caps. I'll be interested in what you find.

I think nothing looks better than the Porsche crest caps - on a Porsche, anyways. JoeShark's car is a model of gorgeous elegance.

Suncoast has some black caps that look good - OEM. I'm thinking they might even provide a nice contrast on a black car against the silver wheels...maybe. Or it could look dorky. Gotta photoshop a demo to see how it looks.

Thanks for the compliment Steve.

The other reason I stayed with the OEM caps is because they match the OEM colored hood crest on my car. The HRE caps were chrome/black and I felt that if I went with them, I'd have to go with the silver/black Porsche hood crest to balance things out.

My HRE dealer had these made for me. Much better than chrome. Also painted the bolts, balancing weights and hub black.
