Those center caps look exactly like the ones I have for the BBS RX-II wheels. My VW caps interchange with the BBS caps. Your question still remains, but my follow-up to you is: Are Porsche wheels made by BBS? Or perhaps a better question would be: Which Porsche 17-inch wheels have your interest?

Since my wheels and caps are not installed yet, I may be able to go to the local Porsche dealer with my caps in hand, and see.

THE RIMS I HAVE , I BELIEVE, CAME OFF A LATE MODEL BOXSTER.
PICTURE SHOWS THE STYLE OF RIM. COULD NOT LOAD A PICTURE OF MINE. I'M E-MAILING TO SEE WHAT THEY'VE GOT. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME,:agree:

I'll do a comparison in the next couple of days when I can swing by the local Porsche dealership. I'll look for a Boxter with that (in your attachment) style of wheel.

Some scrote stole 2 of my centre caps a couple of years back, I made one to fill a hole by trimming a chrome effect grill roundel off a VW Scirroco, the backing was from an ali beer can I recall.

I went to Forty Thieves Motors, and I'm sorry to say they had only two Boxters -- neither of which had your style wheels. The VW cap from my BBS RX-II wheels did not match any Porsche wheels on their lot, in their showroom or in their parts department.

I measured my cap. The outside has a 2⅛" diameter. The inside has a 2" diameter clip-to-clip that snaps into the wheel. I hope that helps somewhat.

GOOD MORNING OASIS,
THANKS FOR TRYING. IT'S NOT OFTEN SOMEONE WILL GO THROW THE TROUBLE FOR A STRANGER!
(THANKS AGAIN)
THE OPENING ON MY RIMS ARE 60 MM OR ABOUT 3 INCHES.
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME, :agree:
ERWIN
