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??

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.

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.

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?

The 992 GTS does have the recess

I have a base 992 with a GT wheel.

The wheel has the recessed groove at 12 o’clock

Pic is pre addition of Tom’s gauge bezels

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....?

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
