I think you have serial numbers with your wheels and Lon should be able to tell what seats your wheels have from them. Just email the serial numbers to him. They look like ball seat to me. If the seat has a curve to it vs flat surface then they are ball seat.

Thx Lon.. So is Mort correct about the curve in the hole=ball seated & flat hole=cone seated? I always thought it was the opposite.

cone seat means its conical, just like the P40SC Conical.
< Cone seat looks like it can fit a cone
( Ball seat looks like it can fit a ball
Interestingly enough, CONCAVE is not proper terminology, technically CONICAL. Concave doesn't exist in most wheels. So what most people mean by concave, they should say is conical.
Only wheel I can think of that has a CONCAVE profile is the old 7 Series BMW wheels. This is concave
Hope that helps?

Those are great looking pics and that is a big change in your car and the weather in the last month. Both for the better and a big improvement. The P40 look great on your car and think you should be very happy with your selection. The stance looks just about perfect and I like the brushed/tinted clear and think it suits your car very well.
Congrats, job well done.
PS: What does Return mean in the last photo?
Also you have a lovely manicure but a little feminine looking...LOL
I keep looking at the HREs on your car and liking them more and more.

Karl, I'm only following ur path brother! Thx for ur help & advice throughout my purchase process. I think u knew for a long time I was in the market for some HRE.. Lol
Mort, thx for the compliment.. Needless to say I'm very happy with my choice. I can see HRE are commited to little details as the finish is flawless.
As for the pics, they were taken & photoshopped by my lovely wife.. Lol! The "return" pic is from her iPhone.. And she couldn't change it to another word.. Lol

Oh, I forgot to mention that the offsets (+41f & +50r) are dead-on as for flushness front & rear. I only get a slight rub on the passenger rear over big dip at high speed.. Not a big deal as I want to stick with my 275/30/19.
