I like Option 1. Option 2 almost looks like 5 wheel bolts in the shadow, so I'm not keen on that. Like some others, I actually prefer the OEM's for this one.

They both are nice. I just like the longer spokes and smaller center of #2. Looks lighter and I like the smaller center with the smooth sided spokes. Lets see some more pics.

I have to agree: OEM > #1 > #2. The problem you have with #1 is that it is pretty close to the OEM TT center-lock wheel so your wheel needs to be lighter, stronger, cheaper, or offer some other advantage beyond aesthetics. I am pretty sure HRE will also offer a similar version based on their popular P40 design. It makes for a crowded market for that style of wheel.

I think less is more with these wheels and that is why the OEM version looks best. A RS171 center-lock or P43-style center-lock would look good and allow you to offer something that is not currently available. I know you guys will make it strong and light so it comes down to offering a different look.




#1 does look better than the OEM TT wheel. And it is very cool you asked for input here.

Sorry, but have to agree that OEM is best, in fact if i had another option it would be OEM Gen 1.... the wheels just seem to need more curves given the body... could Champion come up with a slightly curvier design?

I also agree that it looks a little too similar to the turbo centre locks and the HRE P40s...

Are those the wheels in your avatar? If so, I would agree...these wheels look great on your car and would look great on the new GT3 with center locking.
