5 days ago, they were shipped from HRE from CA to WB in FL.. And today I got a call from WB & an email with tracking about the wheel getting shipped to me. I can say HRE & WB has excellent communication & fast service.
No eta yet, but was told 4-5 days if no delays at Customs. I couldn't get a pic of the actual wheel yet.. Such a tease for real! Lol

Looking forward to seeing your wheels Roswell. I removed mine last week and polished them inside and out then applied some Nanolex sealant http://www.nanolex.de/en/nanolex-premium-alloy-sealant Its an amazing product and really helps stop any tar etc. sticking to the wheels also makes cleaning them a lot easier. Lasts about 6 months

Thank AMG-010, I will sure look into buying this wheel sealant as I know mesh wheels are harder to clean than 5 spoke design.
Your car, Karl & jakio car was the reason I purchased the P40.. So nice. Wish I could go 20's, but here in Canada we get nasty potholes in the springtime.

When you get the wheels at least put a coat of wax on them inside and out to protect them. You could also try this as a sealant http://www.zainostore.com/Merchant2/...roduct_Count=7
The roads aren't the best is Australia, im just very careful.

As promised, here is a sneak preview of my new wheels... Special thanks to Wheel Boutique for the fast service & great communication, and bigger thanks to HRE for building such incredible/quality wheels... 30 days from placing my order to receiving them is amazingly fast!
I can say the finish in brushed aluminum with tinted clear looks amazing in person. Some angle, it looks brushed & other it looks gunmetal.
Stay tuned for installed pics next week! (sorry for the i-phone pics quality)

Thanks for the compliments fellows! I cant wait to slap them on, but work has been busy... sometimes this week-end or next week.
Jycke, I cant wait to see your set! What finish did you end up with? Gunmetal or matte black?

Nice choice Jycke! Satin charcoal will have a better contrast than black.

You have the wheels and they aren't on your car yet??? 
The wheels look great and I am looking forward to installed pics. Not cell phone pics either....LOL. The HREs are going to look great on your car.
