19" HRE M40 :PICS:

I received my HRE M40's today from Showroom Motorsports. Thought I would share some pics with you guys. I will take some more pics once I buy the tires and have them mounted on the car.

Special thanks to Kirill and Brain @ Showroom Motorsports for providing me with outstanding service and this great set of wheels.

Here are the pics...Enjoy.

The rims look like they are bending outward... is it your camera's lens? If they are concave in, then they will look awesome!!

Ya its the camera angle, Im using a wide angle lens since its the only one I have. the wide angle gives it that "in your face" look.

Front is 19x8.5 +35. Rear is 19x9 +45.
I was thinking either the stock lugs or the black lugs from RPM.
I will either be running Michelin PS2 or Hankook tires. 235/35/19 front & 265/30/19 rear or 245front, 275 rear. Haven't decided yet.

Hey guys I just had a few questions....
1.) Will the stock lugs work with these wheels or do I need different length lugs?

2.) I am thinking of lowering the car later on with H&R springs, Will a 245 front & 275 rear tire be suitable for this or should I go with 235 front & 265 rear?

I am going with Hankook tires so they don't run very wide like the Michellin or Continental tires. Im guessing the 245-275 Hankook combo will be ok but im not 100% sure. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I'll be running 245/35's with a +35 offset in the spring. my car is lowered on H&R's I've only mocked them up as we still have over 2 feet of snow on the ground but I looks like it should be fine. My 19x10 +50 rear with 275/30 even looks fine. Well maybe afer some fender rolling.

Definitely would not go anything less than a 275 tire in the rear. I just made the switch. You'll thank me later.

I was thinking of running 275 Hankooks since they dont run as wide as other tire brands. Im gonna lower the car on H&R's later on so I would wanna be on the safe side with the 265's.

Thanks Sonny! Im hoping the overall look would look better with a drop. I think the mod bug is in full effect now. LOL

I would really want to go with 275's but wanna play it safe. Im currently running 275's on my stock setup and I love it.

I have always like the Monoblocks. I have seen the similar style P40 wheels on the M3 and they look really good. I will post up pics as soon as I have them mounted.

First off, great looking wheel- owned two sets concurrently and still have the P40's on the 997TT

Check your weights on those wheels--- but I know for a fact that the benz molds are more heavy duty than those of the Porsche and BMW's and thus have more weight.

I have had two sets of P40's, one for the 997TT and one for the now sold E92 M3- I was considering M40's too but they were heavier. I think you might be ok since you are running 19's.

FYI my 19x8.5 P40's weigh 21lbs and the 19x11 weigh 24 lbs--- 997TT

The 20x9 and 20x10.5 E92 P40's weight slightly over 25lbs each.

I have heard the same thing as well, the M40's are more heavy duty and heavier wheels. I will get them on the scale as soon as I can.
Vic now we definitely gotta do that shoot!! lol
