Any more info on this matter? I am certaintly getting a little happy over the AT wheels... only thing i dont like about them is their ugly center cap!
--You can change the center cap... and exchange it with any other center cap right?

I contacted Tire Rack to discuss both wheels but unfortunately they do not sell Gemballa wheels. Can't comment on the center cap for the AT wheel but if its the same as the Gemballa, (looks idential) the traditional Porsche cap will not fit and I'm currently not aware of anything that will.

That kind of sucks-- AT's center caps really ruin the look of the wheel in my opinion.. maybe we can pop gemballs center cap in there.. or maybe get the current center cap custom chromed or somthing??

Unless you like the raw race look you probably won't like it. The lug bolts are exposed which looks good but the open center hole kills it. If these wheels are also made by Speedline I'll assume you'll be able to use the new center cap from Gemballa.

F1DREW:: i agree with you 100%. I am hoping that we can maybe order gemballa center caps (if they are the same wheels) or maybe just get the current center cap custom painted/chromed or somthing.
Sammy:: get a pic yet?

I'm not in the wheel business but if I was manufacturing wheels specifically to fit the Porsche Cayenne you can be sure the OEM Porsche center cap would also fit on my wheel. What are these guys thinkin??

Guys, I've been waiting for an answer from higher up...
The ATI and Gemballa *are* the same wheel made by the same foundry. It's very common for one foundry to make several brands as the cost of production and tooling is so high. As a matter of fact, there is only a handful of foundries in Italy and Germany that make most of the wheels out there.....
I'm going out on a limb here - but the Gemballa caps will PROBABLY fit the ATI wheel, but I have no way to verify it. Unless Gemballa takes another step to re-machine the center after casting so that only their caps will fit it's unlikely the molds are different. Geez for the price difference, I'd buy the ATI too!! From me of course.........
