Thanks for posting and agree with Macca - though I do have P101s in Gloss Bronze on my current car so I'm a little biased.

Do you have any images of the P104 yet on the GT3? Can't see them on your website and considering them rather than another set of P101s.

Beautiful wheels.

Love those wheels! My only concern is back in the day when P40's came out everyone ordered a set and it went far from being unique to ordinary unfortunately.

These wheels are gorgeous, and have thought the same from day 1. I think we will run into a P40 dilemma again...

Yep, I'm trying to convince myself to go with the P104s rather than P101, but sadly might just get another brand to avoid having 2 sets of the same wheels on 2 different cars. Definition need more options.

I didn't care for these wheels in the raw aluminum finish but holy mackerel does that satin bronze look good on the white!! I will give these strong consideration when my car arrives early next year.

Hi Nate, we're working on a rendering for you as no one has installed a P104 set on a GT3 yet.

OT: Do you have any photos of your set installed?

Great point. Frankly, popular designs such as the P40 are a double-edged sword - they do well in the market but can also saturate and spark similar designs that often get mistaken for originals and further brand the design as ordinary.

We're battling that with competitive pricing, increasingly complex designs and custom finishes that further make each set unique (and we encourage it).

Currently, there's just a handful of 991 GT3 owners in the world with a P101 set, for example. So, looking at the glass half-full, it'll be a while before you see a set on a GT3 rolling down your street as PAG did their homework - we're fans of the OEM wheels and that's a tremendous rarity for us

Are there any other HRE styles, besides the P104, you are or were considering? Perhaps, we can assist and keep you in the family!

Thanks, for putting together some of the rendering.

My current set of P101s are on my Audi RS5, which is my daily driver at the moment. Here are a couple of shots, but they look a lot better in person - they photograph with a yellow tint which they don't have in person.

Thanks! They claim improved cooling and reduced weight, it's actually the OEM rotor. It wasn't my experience on the track - the brakes were done after 3 hot laps.
