Here are the new pics taken today, hope you can see the HRE better. A little bit of chop with the lighting as it was very sunny today.

Thanks for the praise on my new wheels, much appreciated. 
The new pics of your car and HREs are great, your friend did a great job of the pics. That mural is such a great backdrop for pics and I will never get tired of it. Your car is looking A1 and the HREs and stance are perfect. Your friend did a great job of capturing it and those wheels are hot. I love the reflection in the store window as well, very nice effect!

Thx Jeff & gthal, I also love you guys Kleeman wheels & OEM 19's... multi-spoke makes the car look classy.
Mort, I love this mural as well.. it's a nice place to take car pics, but it is a busy place/street on weekdays, so Sunday morning is always the best time to take pics there. I will sure pass on your kind words to the photographer. Thx!!

Infamouz, after 3 weeks of driving with them... you are right, they get dirty fast & are harder to clean than my 5 spoke wheels. I try to keep my inner barrels clean as well cuz they are brushed all the way to the inner barrels.
Thanks lowpost & discoduck, I read the P40 were one of the first monoblock produced by HRE... but I also found out they are overplayed. lol Well, I hope they will be a timeline classic cuz I love the look... and for that, they are sure worth every penny.

What I like about these rims is they have the advantage of being a 19” (higher side walls, easier fitment, lowering) while the design gives the illusion of them being bigger and you’d think they were closer to 20”
They are a great rim made to look all the better by the fantastic stance this car has.
I really liked the 5 spoke rims and didn’t think these would look as good.
I am wrong they are perfect, just look at the signature and you’ll see what I mean.

Thanks Karl, I owe you a lot for giving me the itch to get the same wheels as you. Hope you dont mind me copying you? .. lol
sjhugh, thank you for the praise! You are right, 1 pc wheel tend to look bigger than 3 pcs wheels, if you get the right drop. I was debating on getting them in 20's, but a friend of mine who has the same wheels has cracked 2 of them on our bad Canadian roads... so I went for safety over looks.

Wow, that would be sick on your car!! I bet the conical/concavity will show a lot in the rear of your BS beast!!
I would do satin black with polished edge... just like your OEM wheels. Dang it will be hard to beat the look of your OEM, but if 1 company can pull it off it would be HRE. lol

That would be nice if someone can ps the wheels on your car. You could always ask in a new thread as my thread is already 8 pages long... so you wont get much more views here. LOL

Today was a nice sunny day, so I washed the car & sealed/waxed it. Afterwards, I took the wife for lunch & she told me it doesn't look any different after the wax job (white car shine is not like black car I guess)... so she thinks I wasted my time until I asked her to touch/feel the paint, the smile on her face was priceless... too bad I didn't take a pic of her. LOL
Here is a crappy i-phone pic. :P

very sharp!! I cant remember, is your roof painted or wrapped? ever consider getting the mirrors done in black too or do you think that would clash with the exterior CF?

Guilty, tell me about it.. The quality of the original pic was so poor to the point I could hardly see the wheels.. Lol! I had to play with the lighting a lot. My wife iPhone 4S makes better pics or maybe it was way to sunny today & the sun was against me since the other car was parked on the better side of the sunlight.
I wanted to show off my freshly waxed car.. But it's a big fail. LOL

Timothy, my roof is painted gloss black. I'm not a big fan of vinyl but I shouldn't say that as my interior is CF overlay. Lol
I'm not a big fan of CF/black mirrors or vents.. I guess it's only a matter of taste. I've seen it on many members rides & it looks great though.. Just not on my ride.

I went shopping with the wife & baby today... and got bored as heck, so I had a lil fun with her point & shoot camera that she had in her purse. LOL
