Hi Guys

Anyone else had this problem?

OPC Leeds are replacing Friday and having a look around the car.

Yes, it's a common issue. I noticed it on my Panamera.

With my new Carrera T, I'm trying to avoid directing the pressure washer towards the wheel centres... :geek:

Same problem for me. My summer wheels/tyres went into storage in good nick for the winter but came out heavily blistered. Changed by OPC under warranty. No quibbles from them. Common problem but shouldn't happen. Porsche need to use better quality materials.

Hi, Paul

Yes, I noticed that after I had posted the picture. I have had the wheels off 3 times to clean the inside. Took the paint off the nuts.

Yes, just booked in for a second time, current set only fitted in September although thought it was only common to coloured centres. Poor quality from Porsche.
