The caps do fit but the finish does not match because the turbo wheel has a machined/polished-look face and the center cap is for regular silver painted alloy wheels. That's why the Turbo wheels have their own shiny center caps with black logo. Boothe design sells center caps with a colored/embossed Porsche logo and a polished finish, if matching finish is important to you.

Though the wheels will look best with the center cap that Porsche has made specifically to match it, in my opinion...

To exemplify my point, look at the following two cases. This one has the wheels with alloy-matched center caps like the ones you are inquiring about:



This one has center caps made to match the wheel:

Thanks. I am ordering from Boothe Design with the polished finish. I like the color crest more than the black & white version Porsche sells.

Are these OEM wheels, I thought the turbo wheels have a fixed hub as I didnt find the option to add the colored logo on the Porsche configurator!

OEM turbo wheels don't have a fixed hub they just have specifically made center caps and Porsche only made the polished ones in black and white.

Glad you pointed that out, always thought to myself "how would I get this wheel balanced or something with that cap on"

I am beginning to think that even the polished cap may not match the rim surface exactly.

Probably not exactly but they will be much closer than flat alloy. In bright sunshine they will probably match, probably not as much in overcast. Even the OEM turbo center cap doesn't match in all lights b\c it is plastic painted, not metal machined.
