EDIT:
For anyone looking for a vinyl wrap that is close to Shark Blue there are two on Amazon that are very close:

- Matte Finish: VViViD+ Matte Sky Blue Vinyl Wrap Adhesive Film (1ft x 5ft)

I’d love to do a red center stipe for my steering wheel but it doesn’t have the cut out groove found on other wheels. @Tom Turbo S steering wheel is begging for one.

It probably would look 'right' on my car, especially with the other red bits.... I'd need to find just the right color though or I might obsess on the mismatch. Weird yours doesn't have the groove. Was there a steering wheel option with a fancier wheel? The GT4 must have it??Larry C wrote: Tue Apr 26, 2022 8:26 am I’d love to do a red center stipe for my steering wheel but it doesn’t have the cut out groove found on other wheels. @Tom Turbo S steering wheel is begging for one.![]()

Just a word of caution @Tom the colors depicted on Amazon are not very accurate. I ordered several different colors and I would say, on my computer, the vinyl received appeared slightly darker than what was pictured.Tom wrote: Tue Apr 26, 2022 9:30 amIt probably would look 'right' on my car, especially with the other red bits....

Porsche calls the GTS wheel a GT wheel and it was the only option. I could still do a center stripe but it wouldn’t be recessed nor look OEM. The GT4 has the recessed area but no stripe. The GT4 RS has a gold stripe.Tom wrote: Tue Apr 26, 2022 9:30 amIt probably would look 'right' on my car, especially with the other red bits....

That's really interesting. The GT3 has the center recess at 12 o'clock and Tom's 992 Turbo S as well. I wonder what other 992 derivations have the center recess? Does the GTS?Larry C wrote: Tue Apr 26, 2022 11:33 amPorsche calls the GTS wheel a GT wheel and it was the only option. I could still do a center stripe but it wouldn’t be recessed nor look OEM.

You read my mind, and your car must get much better mileage than mine or have a bigger tank. Not sure I've ever seen 400+ mile range left on my car....?audi4t wrote: Sat May 07, 2022 1:02 pm 4B248F22-45DE-4FA3-93D1-699DBEED6DC2.jpegI have a base 992 with a GT wheel.

Yes - I spec’d the extended range fuel tank - 23 gallons - not available on the 4’s
It was a “bargain” compared to other options at only a $230 up charge
