Here's the thing, why bother changing a flat when I can call my butler to pick me up in my helicopter?

Those center caps are just butt ugly.

Many GT-3 owners use a Porsche "torque multiplier tool" which allows the use of a more standard length torque wrench on center lock wheels.

I mean, I like mods and being unique as the next.
And I'll come out and say it. I drive a WRX around with a loud exhaust and BOV, and I love it.
But that doesn't change the fact that I think those things are hideous, even on your photoshopped wheels. I can't see a scenario where that actually comes out good.

Not your fault their product is rejected.
And our views may not reflect the views of everyone. It's the internets- have an open mind.

Don't let it get you down 
You like what you like and that's all that matters. Not everyone likes my bright green brake calipers, but that didn't stop me...and they're still green.

As I and a few other members had mentioned before, these GT center caps would look OK for deep dish wheels with center caps that covered all 5 lug bolt holes. I found one example here; 18" Porsche Carrea GT Style Wheels

Contrary to your opinion, from my perspective the forum members here consistently show restraint and and class towards some members and posted topics that many would see as assinine. I'm not sure if you typed the above tongue in cheek but if you truly think guys here are "mean" you wouldn't last a New York Minute on most other car based forums.
