Wheel Center Cap for Lobster Claw

Hoping one of you 997 C2S experts can point me in the right direction for a set of silver and black center caps? I've seen tons of sets all over eBay but I want to pull the trigger on the proper set for my lobster claw wheels. Any suggestions or sites ?

Checked. Pelican parts has the secure caps with screws. $75 each?! Robbery. Automotion doesn't have the silver/black Porsche crest for the 997? Hmmmmm.....

What would be really cool is if I could find some caps with the single "S" inlaid on the center. Do they exist?

I had those on my 996 C4S. I wonder if the center bore is the same? That would look sick with the tint and taillights.

I have a set of silver/black center caps that came with a set of aftermarket wheels. I used the colored Porsche centercaps on them that came with the stock wheels so I am confident that they would fit a stock center bore. Your only issue might be is the silver the same shade as your stock wheels? In my case the original set matched my new wheels very well. If you are interested drop me a PM.
