And here it is polished and in color...but don't understand the pricing - B&W $216 for 4 while the colored ones are $194 for 4.

I just went through this. All of the knock offs are a painted silver finish. Have to spend $ to get polished finish. I am in Canada so ended up just getting them from the dealer. Less hassle plus the exchange rate is terrible right now. Cost me about $70 each. Considered the colored but preferred black accent to gold.

Not sure what this means. Pretty sure all caps are plastic on modern Porsche, thus all are painted... The ones attached are different, shinier "polished" look. May be different nomenclature on eBay so may be worth contacting eBay sellers to find the closest one. Personally I'd at least try eBay ones for 20 bucks before dropping 200 on the factory originals for little pieces of plastic. The first link to oem ones for $85 sure look like the same as on suncoast. I'd check the part number listed.

It means one is painted silver and one is a polished finish - yes both plastic but if you see a silver painted center cap on an OEM polished TT wheel the contrast is very evident.

That is what I figured you meant, in which case the oem eBay ones might work no? (by "brilliant silver" they could mean polished).

I checked with a bunch of sellers on eBay and they all said they had a painted look despite the description. The OEM ones are definitley ridiculously overpriced. For me though, by the time I paid exhachange and shipping, etc. it was only about about $30 more total than the Suncoast ones so I opted for convenience.

The OEM caps are painted plastic with the Porsche crest inlaid, not painted. The crest appears to be coated with clear, probable to keep it from fading. That accounts for the extra $$ IMHO.

Anyone know the actual Porsche part #? I want to order them through my dealer as it will be cheaper given the current dollar.
