The problem I have with the new TT wheels is that they look too thin for a 928. The 928 is a solid "heavier" looking car and the wheel spokes just look too skinny...doesn't support the style of the 928 well enough. That's why the designers went with fatter spoke wheels if not the flat dish when the 928 was produced. It's all about balance of appearance. I have seen a lot of folks using the wrong style wheels on their cars(not just 928's)...I guess you just have to have an eye for it.

Jason/Mike,
I couldn't agree w/you more. Here's a modern-day example of a hideous wheel ruining the look of an otherwise decent looking car:
And here's what it should have looked like:
Another decades-old wheel design that really complimented the car:

I totally -love- how strosek with "solid" wheels looks.
As far as a "heavy" look, didn't mean weight wise. There is probably a better term that slips my mind at the moment. I am speaking strickly in design terms.
