It was Peugeot who claimed the had rights to the "0" in car models, so Porsche decide to use the "1" without even wasting time in court. All according to what I read, of course.

I got a set of the plain hub caps from my uncle as part of a restoration project. Are they rare per se? It's been a while since I had them out of the box, but they almost seem like they are aluminum or lighter than the regular ones? Any thoughts?
