Thanks to both.
In particular to Jeff since he solved my issue "at the root" (as we'd say in Italy) by selling me his caps

I have to say thank you once again to jhbrennan

Before...

Yes, I know, I used the 996 center caps, but I defintely like the result!
Unfortunately (for pic purposes) the center cap was really clean, the rim... ehm... well...

I had mine done at local paint shop and they turned out very nicely. Put them on the BBS CHR wheel on black.

Sorry for the delay, I just remembered I forgot to update this thread!

I received the caps 2-3 weeks ago and honestly they look as good if not better than OEM to my eyes. Quality, fitment, color is absolutely perfect. I know the original auction I posted has ended but perhaps the seller has relisted. There's sellers listing various versions of these caps, but these specific ones I can tell you are top notch.

I have to give two thumbs up for sure! Great looking caps irrespective of their $50 price. I'll try to post some pics later tonight.
