Looks incredible! How about spraying the emblems/chrome satin black to match the wheels?

Its all good bro and I appreciate the comments. He did find them on fickr but then HRE didnt protect their account. I just want everyone to know that HRE makes great wheels and it makes this car look even better.

Cant wait to see your pimp a$$ ride. I think Im gonna do a tune today!!!

a car that gets very poor gas mileage.
Very well done!

The offset in the rear appears to be just a tad more aggressive than the first set.
By the way, what happen with those? Did you sell them?

That looks fantastic Vic! My dream setup for the E.

What tires did you go with? I'm partial to the PSS since it's the best tire I ever had on the 599 but I think there are some restrictions on size/spec (haven't checked yet)

Thanks Ken, with the offsets I have and the drop I had to go with a narrower sidewall aka Hankook Ventus V12. I have the PS2's on my 997TT (stock tires) and they are awesome but boy are they "tall"... they carry more sidewall and I think I might rub with the more aggressive offset I ran. The car is not a road track car but more a freeway burner for me so the Kooks work well- good directional pattern, cheaper, and nice dry and wet grip. They get really good ratings.
