Thinking someone was drunk on the production line when they made this rim.
Just had my new tires mounted and I was putting on the center caps. Wanted to align the Porsche crest the same on all rims but then there was the freak rim! See “A”. The valve stem home location doesn’t match the other rims in comparison to the spokes.

All rims have the same part number.

Looking at other pictures of Pedrini rims online I don’t see another like it. WTF.gif Click to view attachment

Flip it over & it'll be fine.

Interesting!! I hadn't noticed that before...

Flip the rims over and see if they have the same part numbers on the back. I wonder if they might have changed that when they went over to the ".01" version that fits on the later cars correctly?

Strange, I think there is a small raised area on the rim where the valve stem hole is drilled. aligning the Porsche crest with the valve stem hole??? bootyshake.gif

Weird, I have a set of .00s in my garage and will check to see if they match when I get home.

Yes, there’s a designated spot on the rim for the valve to pass through. That’s what’s in a different location compared to the spokes on the other rims. The center cap Porsche symbol. I wanted it oriented the same for all Rims but that’s when I noticed the valve stem is in a different location relative to the spokes on the wheel for that one rim

Cool

Yeah, same part number on all the rims

Even if part numbers are the same, bet it's either change in manufacturing or post production parts run version of the part for replacement.
