I think that 171 wheel could be painted in the centre to give it a less stark appearance. You'd think by now they'd be hiding the valve stem. Maybe there's issues with the TPMS box. I've seen the R8 wheel solve this problem. I'd like to think Audi and Porsche use the same senders, so I was hoping to get an Audi spec wheel to fit the offsets of the GT3.

Given the shared platform of the R8, Gallardo, soon the Alfa 8C and eventually the Ferrari California (if I have all those correct) you'd imagine wheel choices should include some great wheels (these stock R8 wheels scream "take me off!")
