I like both,you can get the Cosmic logo stickers for the center caps on ebay.

I believe the repops center cap is smaller than the original Cosmics so the stickers would fit on them,the 2 examples Ethan gave of Bill's wheels and mine are both painted as we had to get Porsche center caps and have someone machine them to fit; since the size of the center cap is larger and the sticker would be too small.

I had this talk/comment from Ethan as well;in the end I chose the Cosmic logo as I agreed with Ethan.

Ethan's opinion on this has never changed, he is still very adamant on the subject :D


The car is looking good! :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:

I saw a suburban going down 1960 the other day it was running some chrome Cadillac Escalade rims. reminded me how much I dislike running Porsche emblems on a VW. Its not a Porsche.

But what if the wheels or whatever are actual Porsche wheels? Then it's just the logo for the wheel. Like AMG wheels on a regular Mercedes. The Mercedes isn't an AMG necessarily, but the wheels are. Now if you just stick an AMG badge on the trunk, then that is annoying...

Good to hear from you Chuck!!!!!!

I had to tell James via text not to take what I say to heart that I give everyone a hard time about that.

I still feel the same way, would you run Toyota Avalon rims with the Toyota symbol on your Mercedes? Same thing in my eyes.
