    Friends,
    I am looking to replace my F430 stock center caps on my wheels as some are cracked a little or faded. I like the yellow background stock look center caps and am looking for the best place to source them. I saw some on EBay, but wanted to see what the brain trust suggested. Thanks!!

    I was looking to buy a set from eurospares, funny you should ask. they have them in stock for 100 quid or something. Mine are looking intact, but extremely faded .

    58 pounds for all 4 plus shipping... I was about right give or take. At least they are OEM.

    The original pale yellow ones that match the hood emblem and fender shields have been discontinued and are not available anywhere, including Eurospares. They are the ones commanding a premium, if you can even find them, because they match and are what concourse judges look for. The darker yellow ones are readily available for a reasonable price from most sources.

    I thought they are pale due to being old, you saying this is how they looked oem ? Here are mine, you can tell the difference from the caliper and car paint

    Yeah, they look like the paler OEM ones, thus more desireable. Look at your hood emblem and fender shields. They are pale too, and it's not because they're faded.

    Really, I have four on my spare set of gun-metal grey wheels. I think the original owner said the wheels were from his 2005 430. I thought they have just faded since the ones which I know are original on my 2009 are bright. I have delivery pictures of my car. I guess I should remove the pale ones from my spare wheels so they don't get damaged. I have only used the wheels twice. Once when I was having the ball polishing re-done on my original wheels and once when I had a flat on a Friday night with an FCA event at 8:00am the next morning. I like having a spare set since 99% chance if I ever get a flat, they won't have the tire in stock for a few days.

    I might trade for the newer style. Right now I'm not allowed to lift anything for 14 days for risk of pulling some stitches so I can't remove them from the wheels to make sure they are in good condition (The wheels are stacked with felt pads in-between). When I can get to them I'll pull them and make sure they are in as good shape as I remember.

    Have you been dropping your wallet on the floor again, it would be lighter if you spent a few dollars
