Why do people put crests (i.e., of wheel manufacturers) on wheels installed on a Porsche other than the Porsche crest?
Why do people buy Porsche’s? Why do they have favorite colors? Why do they eat certain foods? It’s called personal preference. You might not like it, but other people do.
For the record, I have BBS wheels and I run the Porsche crest.
It's not a question of what I do or do not like, I'm just curious because the Porsche crest would seem more elegant than that of a third party.
You just answered your own question. You’re assuming elegance is desired by everyone. It’s all about opinion. You might as well ask the forum what music they listen to and why.
Because the Porsche ones do not fit a lot of aftermarket wheels (or match the color) and Porsche would sue the aftermarket wheel companies if they started putting trademarked items on their wheels.
Since this is the GT3/RS/R forum, all the cars have centerlocks and the crest fits in the center bolt that came with the car (same bolt used with stock and aftermarket wheels)
