How much does refinished cost? How long does it take?

Were you looking for something unique when u picked satin bronze in the first place? And then got bored of it? Or you just simply wanted a new look?

Your car looks so good as is I wouldn’t change a thing .., with that said if you go with the Bronze it might be a really good look !!

Aw Thank you.

It does look good. I wasn't looking to change the wheels at first. I wanted to tune the car and change the rubber to ps4s. The tuner said I might as well change the rims to a lighter and cooler set. So I went along with it.

I might not go for the bronze anymore. I'll probably go for the Brushed Dark Clear. hmmmm. I'll surely post in this sub again when the first stage is conplete.

When I first purchased satin bronze I was looking for something unique and bronze wasn't as prevalent as it seems today. Imho changing the wheels is almost like getting a new car as it totally changes the look. Getting HRE to refinish them wasn't cheap, I think I paid around $400/wheel for the brushed finish. If you have someone other than Hre refinish them the warranty is voided. I will say that my customer experience with Hre was top notch. In all, I think the refinishing process took about 4 weeks including shipping.

I originally considered bronze wheels for my Mahogany Metallic car, but ultimately I decided that they were too dark. I went with a champagne gloss clear coat to add a little contrast. HRE makes a nice finish called Frozen Rose Bronze. I almost went with that because it was lighter than most other bronze finishes.

Brushed Dark Clear would look stunning against carmine red. The 991.1 Carrera S will give you a really good look at how that color works on a red 911.

We are HRE's largest dealer in the world so we've seen more setups than anyone else. If you reach out to me directly I can get more in depth and guide you towards the right finish for you. Also, I'll be able to help you out with a deal that nobody else can.
