Thanks Neal!

Here is a quick pic I took while in Newport Beach for a wedding...I stopped counting how many people kept staring at the car while driving and parked after about 2 hours in Newport. (The valet guys at the hotel I stayed at kept asking me to rev it and kept talkin about how good the car looked...)


and here is one while @ HMS with the homie Trizzle...

Those HRE's look badass. Other then fitment is there a difference between the M40's and P40's. The P40's spokes looks a little closer together?

They are the same as I have the P40's on my 997TT and see Suns car alot. What is different is the offset so my spokes bend in more than his do.

Just a thought, to set off the unique Caliper paint you could add the same BLUE color to the HRE Center caps ---Just the outter HRE SHIELD part, that's already a shade of very light blue/gray---I think it would be icing on that cake



Edit: quick photo-chop "closest I could get to your caliper color"
Attached Thumbnails I'm back!~! :D- More pics added HRE M40's-1126081958.jpg

Benzo...have you thought of getting your grill the same finish as your rims? I think that would make your already gorgeous ride even meaner!!! Happy Turkey Day!

That would work as well, I think w/such an unconventional color it needs a bit somewhere else to tie it all together. Still looks hot w/out but with my Artist background I see things others might not...
