Car looks great and similar to mine.
I thought you are lowered on B16 which is what I’m switching to from KW HAS. Here’s mine with brushed clear to give you a better idea.

They look great. I remember drooling at these pics when you first got them. Are you sure your wheels are Brushed Clear? They look different than that BMW I posted. Less shiny? Could yours be Frozen Clear?

As far as I know they are clear brushed. I need mine refinished and am considering clear brushed with black barrels which is what your BMW looks like(even though they may not be). Looks good that way.
Is it me or is my car much lower than yours? The pics of mine are before it was lowered. I hope the B16 will be able to ride nicer than the KW while being at least as low of not a tad lower.

The car looks absolutely stunning Adam. Job well done on this. We sold him the set originally so I would love to be able to showcase your car with them as well. If you wouldn't mind that please email me everything you've got David@WheelsBoutique.com

For some reason I can't upload a picture of how the car sits now. Will try again later but the more I look at it the more I feel mine is slammed compared to yours but that may just be the angle of the pics.

Thank you. Tanner had nothing but GREAT things to say about you guys. I would be happy to send some over, just need to take them with something better than my Iphone 7 and not in my ratty driveway.

I am running 8mm spacers in the rear, since these are 991.2 +67 offset, effectively bringing these down to +59.

The front +37 with -1.8 camber were perfect as is. I was shocked it was able to swallow up that width/offset without any work as they have 7mm more poke than what I had with 12mm spacers and stock wheels.

I did some very spirited driving with them and happy to report zero rubbing, increased responsiveness from the weight loss, and increased front grip from the wider track of lower offset + increased wheel width. A total win.

Your car might be lower than mine. Because I have a 991.1 w/ PDCC, I have collar on my front shock and cannot go any lower. I already did some "modifications" to mine to get them lower than they actually should be. See that silver bracket below the spring? 991.1 without PDCC or 991.2 will not have that. I've contemplated having that thing milled down 5-10mm more but gave up.

I am about 1/4" lower than a stock GT3 F&R. It's low enough and am happy with how it sits.

The pic of just the wheel might make the car look higher than it is, because I had just had the front jacked up and it needed to settle.

I called HRE yesterday to get an idea if I was to have the color changed

$1400 for Brushed color ($800 for standard color)
+ $200 return shipping
+ $200 outbound shipping
+ $125 mounting
--------------
$1925 + 4-6 weeks

Not sure if it's worth it... My OCD might get the best of me as some point, could also be fun to change it up, maybe over the winter when car is sitting... that and the Brushed Dark Clear in person really is stunning. It's like a chameleon. Looks dark in grey/low light and light in bright, very premium.

HRE P101SC brushed dark clear, saved about 5lbs per corner over stock Carrera S wheels. Car is begging for 2 piece upsized rotors.

Wow, car looks amazing!

That looks awesome! It's funny my wheels are almost the same color and I wanted to go Brushed clear as well. I think the dark charcoal compliments a black car great. It's like an off accent color whereas the lighter really kicks.
Can't go wrong with either.

I guess the angle makes all the difference. Looks about as low as mine maybe a tad higher but hard to tell in pics. Either way it looks great, enjoy!
