Help identify this wheel center cap
I am needing to find the source of these as I have three... Please see picture as it has the crest emblem (not painted) and has "three bolt" securing.
Thanks for looking... I've looked and cannot find a supplier of this style. Mike

Aftermarket Fuchs style center cap with locking nuts. PITA and not needed iIMHO.
Too much bling!

Had a set of wheels that came with these. I remember they were sold by someone many years ago in a magazine. Look up the patent number and maybe you can find some info. The crests I think are a 356 part if I’m not mistaken

Was it rennline ?
I remember many years ago there was an alternate version that had weighted crests , so the badge was allways placed the right way up even when driving like Bentley used to do . They used to advertise in Pcgb magazine iirc . |

They seem to come up as "used Porsche parts for sale" around here quite often.

Ralph Boothe invented, and subsequently manufactured and sold these. You can see the patent, scroll through the pages and illustrations, online at the US Patent Office's website. I tried to link to it directly however it seems as though links are prohibited here?
I have three or four sets of these and they do utilize the smaller 356 hood handle crests in the center.
