Nelly, I wasn't lying to myself.. I tried hard to hold myself, but Ralph gave me the deal of my life for the whole package.. I couldn't say no. 
They are similar to my P40 in terms of style & finish. But the P40SC are lighter & a bit more concave. Plus doing this upgrade also makes me go from Hankook V12 to Michelin PSS. Not a bad deal overall.

Yes, I sold my V12 tires with my HRE to make it an easier sale.
Let's hope the 275/30 PSS doesn't rub too much.

Ok the wheels arrived today, the boxes they were in were so beaten up by FedEx but luckily Ralph did a great job shrink wrapping the wheels before putting in the boxes. He even added popcorn foam as extra protection. A+ service in my book!
Here are few pics of the wheels from tonight. They will be on the car only in May.

Slight concavity, better than nothing I guess lol

Lol Pierre, u are right.. I'm a bit of everything.. Confused, crazy & happy about this upgrade despite it didn't make much sense to trade my P40 to P40SC. Lol
At least, this set has a much more agressive fitment & will help accentuate the staggered fitment.

Very nice, I also like your choice in wheels!
I'm seriously considering buying some HRE P107 in brushed clear for my car for this summer (summer wheels). Now I have the 19"amg multispoke in flat (matte) black and I really love them but I want to get 20" HRE P107's for the summer. One authorized dealer near me can order them but they seem very expensive. About 12k usd plus 3k more with the Michelin pss rubber. 15 grand seems steep so I emailed HRE directly but they didn't help much, they just said they can give me the location of an authorized dealer since they won't ship directly to me, then I emailed again asking if that price I was quoted was too high, but no reply.
Anyway, I look forward to seeing more pics of your new wheels on your car!

15k$ is ridiculous.
